Embarrassing the kids

[ScienceBoy]

Embarrassing a child is a parents job BUT it should not be via social media etc. It is a breach of privacy and trust to do so.

I can’t wait for all the opportunities to embarrass my son but they will all be appropriate in their location and medium of delivery.

I think this for me as well, for example I know my oldest son wouldn't be bothered by it in the slightest, he has a great sense of humour and if he does do anything embarrassing he laughs at himself with an oh well attitude. But my daughters seem a lot more sensitive to embarrassment and would hate it, so to simplify it I would avoid it with all the kids.

Also fair play to the OP son asking for leadership development I don't think that's to be laughed at but to be applauded he may not be the best or captain but he will personally develop skills that will help far greater in life and in work than the ability to kick a ball will.

Jordan Henderson is captain of Liverpool! Anything is possible!

As a dad, that should be your right to embarrass them.. The appropriateness of the setting i.e. public, private depends on individual cases. I guess, boys probably more open it than girls. Already my son thinks i make really bad dad jokes - though i disagree with it

Sorry I meant at their expense.

My son would hate it, everything at the moment is embarrassing him - he's 14 nearly 15 so it's pretty funny that even the slightest thing is considered embarrassing.

my daughter would find it hilarious if a bit embarrassing but she loves the attention so it's perfect for her.
