Having “The Talk” w/ My Daughter on Funky Friday

Shakira is growing up. She’ll always be my babygirl but she is no baby anymore. This chat was enlightening. You know I gotta keep it funky so I didn’t hold back. Let’s get into it: parenting, drugs, sex and relationships.

I love everything about this. I love how Mr. Newton has been open to being her stepfather and how he continues to be in her life despite things not working out with her mother. This is so dope and I wish more men would take his lead. So proud of this.

[@user-xs9gd1tp5q]

@musinahcharlot Yes, this is such a wholesome way for a step dad to stay connected with all his children.

[@OG_2pence]

7 children with one father not in the house. In any realm is a massive stretch. No child has their father all the time when it's like that. It's definitely a great thing that he's actively communicative with them. But he's no superman as a father. (he's superman's father😂🙃😉)

[@SrChalice]

Haha, you're fuqin delusional. How about her biological father do his job or the mothers learn to stay with the men they carry for. Always looking for a god damn bail out because you wanna be "empowered". The only time it's acceptable for a man to assume such a role is if he adopted the child or the biologicals are dead. It's not our responsibility to care for children that is not ours. We have no claim to such children. The only one that benefits from such simpism is the mother. As she gets to make poor decisions and become rewarded for it.

Shakira will always remember this day-that her dad cared about her so much that he put her on his show and focused on things that are important to her. Conversation is KEY with kids. All kids need to feel special, wanted, valued and loved. They may not show it, but this will help her to make the BEST decisions in life and not fall prey to peer pressure. She’s a good girl with SWAG! GREAT JOB 👏 This took A LOT of courage, but I’m so glad you did it!!

A father just talking to his daughter at the age they really need us. This video my not go "viral" per say, but present fathers with daughters will appreciate this video. Super Salute. This highlight reel will be more influential than any TD throw highlight. And your daughter is a beautiful, intelligent, young lady, inside and out. That matters.

[@marvind.rogers1706]

I used to live near Cam when he lived Uptown, Charlotte. This is one of the best things my eyes have ever seen in the history of media. Their father/daughter bond is a beauty to behold. She is wise beyond her years and brimming with grace and subtle wit. . And her Southern accent, tho!! 🦋

[@rodb115]

This was informative, getting a different perspective from a 15 yr old. I actually learned some things about how the younger generation views the world... I need to talk to my kids more.

[@scheenafarmer3979]

One conversation leads to another one just by taking something the youth said that you can build on. We want our children to know that it's about making some choices before it happens sometimes things go wrong and you could end up in the hospital for something a friend gave you so yes, have your own experience but you couldn't say that you didn't get the information. Another thing about movies and other television shows maybe just acting but it really doesn't matter because you can look up some of these stories and see that there is some truth so that you can live in the real world and be away because what you don't be aware of is the thing that someone is plotting so parents and others speak to us before we get outside snd think that we are free without thinking snd chosen. Real freedom cause from speaking the truth of people who have wisdom and are sharing with you that you don't have to try everything just because you can and have that experience but if you do no one owes you anything just be responsible for what you do and who you allow in your life. People are waiting and banking on our kids and when your daughter said: "she wants to hang are and have fun" she has to know that it's real and those words are like gold to the ears of the people who want you to have fun but it all won't be fun..you don't want to get trapped in a life where you forget or never learn who you are. Be good to yourself and think about this talk with you dad. "One pinky, one finger and one thumb is one love"

[@busymom9997]

Yes do that and you'll feel really good about your relationship with your kid's because they will come to you first before any decisions are made because they trust you

[@Me-px7js]

I agree. I’m going to show my son this clip. She echoed his feelings about high school stress. I now have a better understanding about what he’s going through.
