The Biz e-Friday Countdown recaps the best in the parenting blogosphere. Unfortunately, not all of the posts are happy ones.
This week, we dedicate the Countdown in memory of 8-year-old Brooklyn boy, Leiby Kletzky, who disappeared while walking home from day camp. He was later found dead. Our thoughts are with the friends and family.
There are no words adequate to console a parent who has lost a child.
In case you were too busy this week to read all the top blogs yourself, here’s the highlights:
5. Dooce
Who knew bedtime could be so dangerous? The post “When Goodnight Hugs Go Terribly Wrong,” exposes some of the hazards of parenting. Be careful out there!
4. Coulda Woulda Shoulda
Hilarious photo blogging and a lesson on how to teach your dog to swim.
3. Motherlode
“A Parent’s Waking Nightmare” addresses the recent death of Leiby Kletzky. The reality is that 8 should be old enough to walk in their neighborhood alone, and strangers shouldn’t brutally murder children.
2. Babble (By O’rya Hyde-Keller )
“I’m Trying to Get Pregnant So My Kid Isn’t an Only Child,” is a post that needs no introduction. How many parents have kids for the sake of the sibling, and is it justified?
1. Free Range Kids
In memory of 8-year-old Brooklyn boy, Leiby Kletzky, who disappeared and was found murdered this week we feature, “Such Sadness.”
Rest in peace.
