Kids are so advanced these days. At the age of 6 or even 5, they can easily learn how to use an iPhone, iPad and a lap-top. That’s not what we used to do when we were kids. Technology wasn’t there yet, and we used toys to have fun instead.
Some say this is a good thing. Kids will adopt to technology at young age, and that will have a direct impact on their education. On the other hand, they could form an addiction to the virtual world and lose interest in things that matter.
It seems like social media is not helping either. It’s all about selfies, tags, hashtags, likes and followers. You’re apparently cool if you have likes, and a lot of people follow you.
And we don’t even want to get into the topic of what kids are wiling to do just to gain popularity on social media. So let’s continue with an inspiring story instead.
This 12-year-old from from Mississippi helped her mom deliver her brother. Jacee Dellapena was present the whole time, and her expression is priceless.
“Jacee wanted to attend Zadyn’s birth 18 months ago but we felt she was too young to attend. So this pregnancy her dad and I discussed it and decided it might be a good learning experience for her!” said her mom.
Dellapena’s mom thinks that other people should let their children be a part of the delivery as well.
“If a child has hit puberty and is appropriate age and maturity level to learn about the body and sex Ed, parents should allow him or her to watch in child’s birth.”
“She got suited up for delivery. Although the pain from the contractions and the pushing hurt me so bad, watching Jacee’s expressions on her face were like no other”
“Concentrating on her face while I pushed helped me so much! Dr Wolfe actually put her hands on the inside of his and allowed her to do the entire delivery. We were all very emotional and it was like no feeling I’ve ever felt”
“It’s not every day your eldest child at 12 years old gets to deliver your last child”
