2. How Are You And Your Friends Getting Along? You'll get to know your child's social circle and may get a heads up on drama that could be brewing and may cause some later problems.

3. What Is Something I Should Know About You? This question is great for growing any relationship - and you're guaranteed to learn something surprising. Just be prepared to have an answer, too!

4. What Should We Celebrate Today? Make it a goal to have fun with your kids and bring joy into your family's life on a regular basis. It can be as simple as popsicles on the back porch, a good grade on a quiz, or your favorite show being on TV. Savor the little things together.

5. Do You Know That I Love You? You can never say this too much. Always tell your kids you love them - and for who they are, not just for what they do.

6 Things you should know about your 3 years old.




Watching a child grow from a tiny newborn into a curious toddler is an amazing experience, and teaching toddlers the many skills they need to learn is a rewarding job. By the time a child becomes a toddler they are ready to explore the world around them and are beginning to grasp basic verbal, physical, and social skills. Three year olds have very different needs than younger toddlers and strengthen the skills that they have learned since birth.

There are some common traits that most three year olds share although every child is different and develops at their own pace. If your child is soon to be three, here are six things you should know about your three year old.

Many children, especially boys, aren't ready for potty training until they're three. Many parents expect their children to be potty trained by three years old but many children aren't ready to begin the process until age three, and this is perfectly normal.

Three year olds are learning new words every day and are usually talking in 3-5 word sentences. Because they are learning so many new words it is normal to stumble over words but this is not stuttering and usually does not indicate a problem.

Some parents of toddlers are inclined to talk down to their child using overly simplified words or "baby talk." However, the best way to help your three year old develop proper speech is to talk with them using regular language with plenty of descriptive words.

Most three year olds enjoy imitating people and animals, especially those they are around on a daily basis. Three year olds will mimic what they see during play and will begin to emulate people that are close to them.

By age three children begin to develop the social skills necessary to play cooperatively with other children. Three year olds begin to share, take turns, and can tolerate delayed gratification, most of the time.

Three year olds also start to develop vivid imaginations and will often engage in imaginative play. They enjoy making up stories, pretending, and acting out their favorite books, stories, and TV shows.

Three year olds are still developing many important skills as they learn about the world around them. Teaching toddlers skills such as using the potty, how to play cooperatively, and the correct use of language become easier for three year olds who have developed the attention span and understanding needed for these tasks.

the promise of unconditional care.




As a father it will always be a journey to see our daughter grows and learn new things. But as we go along, we need to keep telling ourselves that there will come a time that our daughter will make mistakes. How should we respond if our daughter ask forgiveness to us? always be remembered of the promise of our unconditional care and love. Never fail to hug your child.

To a child LOVE is spelled as TIME.



To a child LOVE is spelled TIME.Truly as a father we may be very busy of the many things that we do and we tend to forget time with our children. There are times whenever i arrived home, Noelle would ask me to read a book for her only to realize that the book was already read to her for many times already. Then i come to realize that its not about the book, its the time and feeling of me being with her that counts to her the most.

Being a parent is a sacrifice.



How much are we willing to sacrifice for our child?

To love unconditionally.



As Father i realized that this is not an easy task. But with GOD and with his great example i know i can overcome and be successful. I want to be there always for my child, to tell her every night that Daddy loves her and that i would be there for her no matter what happens.

The best gift that a Father can give to her daughter is LOVE. There are times that i cant afford to give Noelle things that she liked for its too expensive or i cant afford it. But everyday, i make sure she feels my love for her.
