It’s about time my preschool daughter, J, is ready to play board games. So I had an excuse to buy a set of 14-in-1 board game package the other day.

J was so excited when I presented her the package. She couldn’t wait to play.

Since she’s still young and that was probably the first time she played a board game, Snakes and Ladders would be a better place to start.

My wife and I were playing with her. Initially, I thought J had beginner’s luck because she almost won the game.

But, as in everything, the game had ups and downs. J suddenly dropped to the lowest among all. Thanks to the snakes.

It occurred to me when I was young, my mom always asked me to stop crying whenever I cried.

Now that I am a dad myself, it’s only natural that I follow my mother’s footsteps. But I realize there’s something wrong to ask a child who is genuinely sad to stop crying.

Men don’t cry mentality is a misconception. We should throw it out of the window. Crying won’t make men a sissy. Rather it makes you stronger.

If you have cried before as I did on a few occasions, you know the “high” feeling that comes after a good cry. Not to mention the feeling of relief. Hard to describe but it’s such a great feeling!

Now let’s talk about crying children.

How could I miss this important day?

I was tipped off by Megan Bayliss of Imaginif that today is Bloggers Unite – Blog Against Abuse Day.

It’s important that bloggers get together to spread the message of love and care toward children. With the increasing number of child sexual abuse, assault and murder, this has become even more important than ever.

I am really pissed off by news of this nature. One such recent example is Nurin Jazlin.

I urge you to spread the word about Blog Against Abuse Day and ask your friends to write something about child abuse on their blogs.

Or you can submit a story to Megan’s blog here. No story is too trivial to share. Submit it now.

Do your bit and let’s work together to make this world a better place, especially for the young and innocent children.
