Dricky graham-Letter to my son

 This rap is basically a letter that dricky graham wrote it is about how his father left him when he was 2.  A lot of people in America does not have their father in there life because they father left when they was little. This song is basically saying that he didn't have his father in his life to teach him about the birds and bees and about how to treat women. And that he really misses his father. A lot of women are single mothers and that is hard having to provide for your children by yourself . That's why I wanna make sure my sons father is in his life. You need a father figure to teach you things that your mother can't tech you.  Most kids grow up without there father really want to meet there father

Cameron James Winfrey and Travell Nictony Winfrey 🔑❤️👪

Cameron James Winfrey my baby, my stanka, my Fat Man born on December 31,2013 6 pounds 12 ounces. I love that lil boy so much he is my everything. I never thought I would be 15 and have a baby, but I am and I don't regret anything! All things happen for a reason. I think if it wasn't for Cameron I would still be childish Cameron really helped me to mature. I try to be the best mom to Cameron, he is just so cute and spoiled rotten. It's not easy be a mom at 15 because I can't get a job yet and I can't really provide for Cameron like I want to. But I have a lot of help from my family and from Cameron's dad's family. Travell had been there since day one and is always going to be there. I know that for a fact if me and him don't work out relationship wise he will still be there for his son. He really have changed his life around ever since I told him he was going to be a father. Yes, it was a little rocky in the beginning but Travell never doubted that Cameron wasn't his. I remember when I first found out I was pregnant I was so scared to tell my mom. But it all worked out yes she was disappointed but what could she do. She was my backbone while I was pregnant she's wasn't gonna let anybody talk about her baby. 👏👌 I can't wait until Cameron starts walking and talking I know he go be bad. He go be getting into any and everything. But I can't wait to watch my baby grow up into a young man. Cameron's made me and his dad really look at life differently, because we are his role models. He's going to follow behind our footsteps

Technology: Are interactive toys interfering with child development?

I think interactive toys do in some way interfere with child development I say because I think chldren need more hand on things. The interactive toys do help children in their early development stages with their language skills. I just fell like if they focus too much on their interactive toys they want know how to speak with humans, they will ony talk to their toys. Dr. Kaveri Subrahmanyam, associate director of the CDMC@LA, says that "children under two really don't learn anything from screens." Thats why I think children in their early stages of development needs more hand on things because they wont know whats on the screen. Children would do better with books being read to them and parents teaching them words. Instead of a screen trying to teach them stuff. All children learn differently some need more attention than others and some do learn from the TV and from computers and tablets. These interactive toys might help early childhood development and it might not.
