Over-the-top advertisements of children's accomplishments are everywhere. "Watch Matthew's game-winning shot!" a mom shouts to her Facebook friend uploading a video. "Little Susie is years ahead in math!" a dad proclaims at a family barbeque.
But often these compliments can get a little out of hand; moms and dads aren't impartial when it comes to their kids' abilities. Whether they realize they're doing it or not, they can easily over-exaggerate.
And when they do, they end up on the subreddit called r/WokeKids. The number one internet archive of proud parents. Continue scrolling to check out our hand-picked posts from this entertaining online community and a few random pictures we found elsewhere that we thought are very appropriate and go with its content well.

Omg this. All these kids who are getting themselves vaccinated immediately upon turning 18.... I hope they can feel the pride and support from the online community, if not at home. It's the correct order of things as well. Every new generation OUGHT to be smarter than the ones preceding them

He's a child, not an idiot. His parents are idiots. As an adult, it doesn't make you look smart to call a kid an idiot for repeating what their parents tell them. They don't know any better yet. You do.

Enough Of Your S**t, Rebecca
When your three year old is smarter than you. You probably should have somebody cutting up your food for you.
He did say that, Jack. He also told me to tell you that even though you both have waded out into opposite philosophical waters, he doesn't think too harshly of your incompetence and wonders why you're now harshly deconstructing a 3 year olds words. -my son again, 3
Addendum: Then everyone who was around to hear him, broke out in applause.

But words do die; there are countless words that are no longer in use.
All this child-centered bragging, despite its patent violation of the social ideals of modesty and respect for others, may be, according to University of Pennsylvania sociologist Annette Lareau, PhD, an outgrowth of the hothouse style of parenting that pervades our culture.
Lareau, who has studied the habits and behaviors of contemporary families, calls this practice "concerted cultivation." She thinks it's a way middle-class parents tend to see "parenting as a project," something to be managed and organized and programmed.
That's Quite A 6yr Old
The problem with "man up" is not the word "man", but the notion that men and boys ought to be tough all the time. Why? If you're sad, then BE sad and cry and get it out of your system. THEN you can go back, get a new grip, push forward.
I have a 7 year old, and I can see him saying this. This one isn't that far fetched.
This one is weak. I completely believe a 6 year old could say that they should say person up or be brave.
That definitely sounds like something a six year old would say. I was a much dumber kid, but around that age, I remember loudly objecting to the name "grilled cheese" because I thought it was"girlled cheese" and only girls could eat it.
The Gifted 4 Year Old High-Unschooler
Just to clear this up for everybody, homeschooling is education at home using certified curriculum. Each state has different rules but here in Florida I have to take an assessment to make sure I’m up to date with my education. Unschooling is where the parent believes the child can be educated enough from experiences. It’s illegal in many places.
Oh, I've heard of unschooling! That's where the parents literally let the children do whatever the hell they want, isn't it?
Load More Replies...Ah yes, I too finished high school at age 4, as do all the gifted children
Ok, so I get the idea is to reject institutionalized, monofacated education systems. But parents are just not equipped, educated and resourced to prepare kids for post-secondary education. There are other types of schools but all have a pro and con that may hinder your kid's potential at following careers. Not to say it can't happen, anyways, like if a intellectually disabled teen needs to be in a modified program, but even those kids have a greater chance to break barriers than those who've never had formal education.
Dear god. Not only is this false, I don’t think this lady realizes what gifted is. Gifted isn’t just “being smart”, it literally makes us neurodivergent. Most people don’t understand what it’s like when somebody totally misunderstands what you see as a simple concept. My mom tells me to stop fidgeting like that’s something I can do. And unless you have insomnia you’ve never experienced the frustration of waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to fall back asleep, or even worse, you can’t fall asleep at all. Being gifted kind of sucks and this lady doesn’t understand what that word means. Also, finishing high school at age 4 is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of. I only started high school when I was 12.
thank you so much i completely agree with all of this! i’ve been in my school system’s gifted program since i was 6 and now they are trying to take it away. i really don’t think they understand how necessary it is for so so many students. i’m genuinely scared because i had a very hard time before i was in the program and so many kids after me are going to have really tough school experiences. the thing that makes me so angry is when people call us “the smart kids”. being in our position is no walk in the park and you have no idea what it’s like.
Load More Replies...I wonder what those parents' cvs would look like! Oh i have "studied" economics, management and philosophy! Do you have degrees for these? Lol no I'm just saying so

Was your four year old son finishing high school, or were you just finishing getting high? My vote is for the latter.
"There's a way in which an activity is more intense for the mother than it is even for the child," Lareau told WebMD. "And the competitive nature of activities is woven into the heart of the process."
Psychiatrist Alvin Rosenfeld, MD, believes it's much better to concentrate on the whole child instead of just the part you like. "Many focus on their children's achievements, rather than getting to know their kids as individuals," Rosenfeld explained. "The dilemma is when kids become valued only for their accomplishments -- or when they live up to your fantasies of what they ought to accomplish -- not for who they are as people."
I Cried
I asked my adult friends what they want for Christmas. They didn't say cake, they said donut, I cried.
Ok, this is really funny....Why did you have to comment it in this emotional post 😂😭

I asked my friend what they wanted for Christmas, they didn't say "Laptop" they said "A lock of your hair and a picture of you to hang on my wall" I cried.
I asked my dog what he wanted for his dinner. He didn’t say “whatever you fix for me, dear mother, will be scrumptious”, he said “woof woof”. I cried.
I asked my teenager what wish he had for next year.... He didn't say Peace for the world, he said 'Get out of my room mum, I am in the middle of a computer game!'
I asked my cats what they wanted for Christmas. One of them crapped outside the litter box. I cried.
Ouch
These cringey parents forget that the kid will grow up.. and eventually expose your lies
“Hey Buddy Hold This Spatula Real Quick”
ONLY eggs, french toast and waffles?? Your kid is a slacker. My 1 year old kid drives to Florida every day to get oranges, which they squeeze fresh orange juice, and my 2 month old drives to Mexico to get avocados for my avocado toast.
Hmmm… lazy. On his 2nd birthday my toddler flew 1st Class to Boston, then took a limo to the Omni Parker House Hotel to pick up TWO of their original Boston Cream Pies, then flew back (sharing one of the pies with the flight crew), and had the good sense to also pick up a chilled bottle of Dom on the ride back home. I didn’t have the heart to scold him on his poor vintage selection (likely due to an aggressive liquor store sales rep taking advantage of yet another 2-year-old who’s flashing a wad of Benjamins) but we had a terrific time making memories and at the end of the day that’s all that matters to any Dad.
Load More Replies...Hahahahaha! As if! If this was actually true then you are a dangerously irresponsible parent for allowing a two year old to be alone and unsupervised at a hot stove!!
I was thinking the exact same thing. I was working in a pub decades ago, mum and dad come in with their little boy, they insisted the boy could get their coffee from the bar and bring it to them. Of course he he was too small to reach properly and he got hot coffee on his hand. The parents were angry with me for burning his hand.
Load More Replies...Um, only two years old and made eggs, French toast and waffles? I don’t think so. My two year old could barely feed the dog, much less me.
How the f**k did she think anyone was gonna belive that? Most two year olds can't even read
Most two-year-olds can't even EAT without spilling half of it! And this person wants us to believe that someone who can't see the top of the stove and who isn't coordinated enough to eat with a fork can cook?
Load More Replies...What deep seeded unfulfilled need does a person have to want to make this, and the others up for the benefit of what others think of them. Most if not all of which they do not even know
My 2 yo also gives me food. OK, mostly beads,strings and whatever glitter she can find mixed with water from the toilet, if I am lucky water from a puddle, but hey, almost the same 😜
And then Gordan Ramsey happened to be walking by , caught a whif of the delicious breakfast made by my 2 year old and immediately offered him a job at his steakhouse in Vegas. The neighbors had all turned out by then to see the commotion and everyone slowly clapped for my prodigal and not in anyway fictional 2 year old michelin star chef child.
That's nothing my son made it to an egg, 9 months before he was even born.
Parents need to remember to model the behavior they want their kids to develop. "If they see and hear you bragging, that's the behavior they'll emulate," Rosenfeld added.
Social etiquette matters. Don't be a braggart; we don't know about other families' struggles and challenges. The parent you might be tempted to tell about your kid's athletic accomplishments, for example, may have a child with a physical disability.
Again, focus on who your children are as people rather than their latest test score. "We rarely hear the simple praise, 'He is such a good (or good-hearted) kid,'" Rosenfeld said.

They Would Rly Die
At age 9? In 2021? This is 100% something a kid that age could plausibly say. I get a feeling that the people who object to these don't interact with many children.
As a father of 10 year old I'll have you know this is something a 9 year old will say. Specially if they are in blue progressive state.
I told my 9 year old cousin I was genderfluid. They were actually really sweet about it, I said ‘you can call me a boy if you want’ and they just went with it.
Today's 9 year olds are definitely not the same as they used to be in other decades
Load More Replies...Yeah... this is not an unreasonable thing to believe a 9-year-old Gen Z would say... My son proclaimed himself a feminist at 10 and was ever ready to explain to you his reasons why. This isn't 1990
Seriously though. Since when do you háve to be pan sexual? It is ok to be straight. Or gay, or pan, or asexual and any other variety there is.
pansexual basically just means you like anyone regardless of gender man

Load More Replies...Psychotherapist and author F. Diane Barth said that if you do feel compelled to brag to other parents about your kid, be sure to give them equal time to brag about theirs and try to think of something you admire about their children in case they can’t come up with something.
Every parent wants to tell the world their kid is something special, and they should, but the trick is to balance it out. As you can see from the pictures, there's a line between being incredibly impressed with their accomplishments and talking the kids up to the point everyone thinks you're simply full of it.
Damn, That 2 Year Old Is Genius

I already know the Earth is an oblate spheroid, so why do you keep telling me it isn't really flat, and why are we in this toy shop?"
That globe is a lie. Everyone knows that we live on a disc on the back of 4 enormous elephants who stand on the back of a space-faring turtle. Sheesh. Educate your kids.
Nope mate. The truth is that we live in the Mortal Emperor World, one of the Nine Worlds. Every era, a Heaven's Will is born and cultivators throughout the Nine Worlds battle with each other for supremacy. The last one standing shoulders the Heaven's Will and ascends to become an Immortal Emperor.
Load More Replies...Firstly you are a complete and utter moron for believing that the Earth is flat! Secondly there is no way this really happened.
The weirdest part of the flat earthers ideology is that they confirm that all other planets are spherical, based on astronomical observation of NASA and others. But the Earth is flat...because it's not a planet, according to them, despite the exact same observations made by NASA.
as I heard them they believe the stars etc is a projection, somone actually made effort to project stars solar eclipse moon etc as a conspiracy.

Trump's Twitter
My three-year-old niece said "Ah yes, wonderful news. Thank you for telling me, fine lad. Please, have twenty dollars"
Yeah. I can believe that because a kid can parrot back stuff like that. If she's heard the grown ups around her talking frequently about Trump lying, she can associate Trump with lying. It doesn't mean she has conducted a fact check of his claims or even that she has much of an idea who he is.
Load More Replies...i told my 2-day old nephew that trump was suspended. he didnt say anything because he is 2 days old and asleep.
My one year old cousin said "ah yes, such fine people they are to have removed that horrid man's capabilities to lead his cult. Now take this $5 and go get yourself something nice"
I mean that is a simple answer, and this is an age when kids are learning about truth and lies.

Story Of A Woke Son In The Wilds Of Twitter
Who remembers when people were embarrassed being caught in a lie?
I was once, but that was before I was made President of the world, thanks to my enormous, prehensile penis, and ability to remember what I went into the kitchen for.
Load More Replies...plus ... I don't know where they get the idea that every fetus starts female. From the moment of conception we start as female or male. It's simply that there is no discernable difference between the sexes until later in the development. However, the fact the testicles descend and a s*****m and penis is formed shows those were not ovaries to begin with, they were testicles and the fetus was male from the very beginning. Fetuses don't change gender, they develop as the gender they biologically are.
I think she refers to the first four months as embryo, where the Y chromosome stays inactive
Load More Replies...These people are too dumb to realize they’re claiming their kids are talking like dying children in Victorian novels. Because they’re also too dumb to have ever read a Victorian novel. Hell, most seem actually proud to proclaim they don’t read at all. And it shows.

Well, to be fair, this is actually pretty true. My daughter is not allowed to show any part of her stomach or shoulders at school, but I am allowed to own any number of assault weapons.

Teenagers get hold of their parents assault rifles and mow down everyone on campus, but we can’t have girls showing their collarbones because that might distract the boys.
i don’t think boys should wear shorts to school. girls might get distracted by their knees. /s
Load More Replies...I think it's not about the truth of the statement on the sign, but whether the child came up with it on their own. The theme of the thread is parents lying about how brilliant and mature their kids are. I don't see any text from the parent claiming their kid made the sign themselves, so on that count, I don't see why its here.
Load More Replies...Maybe he didn't say this, but it sure is true. I feel the schools should focus on more important issues (like, oh I don't know, upping security for school shootings) instead of yelling at me when I show my shoulders or stomach.
My kid is 7 and he went on a complete rant about women's pants having a lack of pockets while we were checking out at TJ Maxx the other day lol. Obviously he's parroting me but it's not that hard to understand differences in clothing standards based on gender. Or double standards in general.
That kid looks old enough to understand the general drift, if you talk about this kind of stuff at home they get it. I understand people feeling uncomfortable with a child being used to publicise what to some is a political opinion, but I wouldn't put this in the same camp as two year olds supposedly solving the world's problems.

Another Politically Aware 11 Year Old
Now this one could be true lmaoooo TikTok brought down his entire Tulsa rally.
Just so everyone knows, I can see the BOK Center from my house in Tulsa. While they were telling everyone that it was full, we were watching the reality of how actually empty it was. Across the street. It was hilarious.

It was a challenge on tik tok between teens so i believe it
Load More Replies...Could be true. After all, look at the power of K-Pop fans in large numbers.
Yup. The BTS Army mobilized to make this happen. (And because I had to Google to confirm I was using the right terms, BTS = K-pop boy band and Army = their very active fans.)
Load More Replies...This one could be true. At that age I had been aware of that crap and I was also smart enough to be able to do something like this.
I'm pretty amazed at how many people don't realize middle schoolers did this. My son's school excused them from classes if they wanted to go to the climate strike in 2019. He asked if I would take him and I did. He was 11. What is happening?
Seems Practical
That is not that uncommon. Two to three languages happens regularly in immigrant families. I grew up with three. Ten languages on the other hand seems pretty hard.
My mom's parents spoke 3-4 languages each, but true fluency in 10? You'd need a talent, IMO. Unless it's close-related languages.
Load More Replies...To be fair, my kids all speak three languages at home. It's what happens when you live in Flanders with a French mother and an English father.
I grew up speaking two. Could have learnt three. It's easier to teach children the younger they are so I believe this.
Absolutely, kids are sponges, they'll speak up whatever languages you throw at them. I know 2 families (the mother's were sisters) and the kids all spoke 4 languages. The mothers originally spoke German, then came to Canada and learned English. Then they both moved to Quebec, learned French. Then they married Spanish guys and, voila, the kids became fluent in 4 languages. I can BARELY speak one, lol
Load More Replies...Pushy mum, but otherwise seems OK. My children are bilingual and many of their friends are trilingual. 'Third country kids' exist, and they're not that rare.
That is normal. The three languages. My son speaks 3, we are immigrants so that's how it happens.
I read an article a while ago that said something about kids can learn something like 5 or 6 languages before the age of 5, because their brains are like sponges at that age. Their language skills are going through their biggest development stage so if they are exposed to the languages they can just absorb them like they do their main language(s).
Three languages I can believe. My mom lived in Belgium for a summer and it was normal for kids to know two or even three languages.
I know a woman in Wales whose dad didn’t want her to have a Welsh accent so he hired a variety of Nannie’s over her first fifteen years (yes, they obviously had money) all of whom spoke different languages. She could speak fluently in at least seven languages, including Welsh which she learned on her own, and, big bonus, learned to imitate virtually anyone’s voice and accent. She demonstrated this on my voice and I was blown away! She sounded exactly like me! So cool! I don’t think her dad ever forgave her for learning Welsh.
It's funny rich people get credit for their kids speaking more than one language but every immigrant kids I know can do this but they get crazy looks when they speak a different language in public
In countries where more than 2 languages are spoke, this is possible like in my case where i grew up learning 3 languages. I’m still learning a fourth language which i don’t think i’ll ever learn

Honestly, kiddos often repeat what they hear. This may be true that 6yo heard one of the parents say this and then repeated it. It doesn't mean the kiddo understand what they were saying/repeating.

ABSOLUTELY BELIEVABLE! I most definitely would have said something like this at 11.

Living in a country without any middle ground, where you either are in favor or against something, where education is controlled by religious twats and political parties, where being homeless is a crime and where basic human rights are violated on a daily basis, does have an effect on people who still have the delusion that they live in the "greatest country in the world."

Yeah, That’s What An 8 Year Old Is Worrying About
I understand this. It's in the language of a child, but the gist is if you teach in subjects without showing how those subjects are connected, you miss an important learning opportunity. Science contains maths. Geography contains science. History contains social studies (and vice versa). And some of this crossover starts in primary school. I'm not sure I get what he means about music, but the rest of it makes sense. And is absolutely what an 8 year old can worry about.
I agree. This is a believable tweet.
Load More Replies...Well, if you think about it, music kind if IS mathematical, as us language. Both need to follow certain formulas in order to make sense and be bearable to listen to.
Meanwhile ... My 8 yo, just today: "When I grow up, I want to watch YouTube videos instead of working."
Maybe the kid found her acid stash. This might be a new form of synaesthesia.
No... If it WAS lsd they'd have spent 6 hours staring at the pattern on the good China.
Load More Replies...Simple, because in order to understand the relation you must first be well versed in the discrete subject matter. I cannot truly understand Biochemistry before I understand basic Biology and basic Chemistry. Think of it as learning mathematical operations before you learn equations.
If a 8yr old asked "Who says music isn't really math or math isn't science really?" I think I would be morally obligated to ask the kid if they were on coke
Because music isn't maths. And maths isn't science. Yes, there's some overlap, but they're completely different disciplines.
Poster Claims Their 5th Grader Did This
Believable. Small children are parrots, if they've heard something, especially opinions heavily foisted on them, they'll reproduce on demand. Many antivax parents are scared their child will be secretly vaccinated at every doctor's appointment, so they teach them what they want them to say in this fictional scenario. Sad.
Correct. Never underestimate those guys. They can copy and emulate something they've seen even faster than Kakashi the Copy Ninja.
Load More Replies...If your child really believes that vaccines are dangerous then YOU have failed as a parent and a human.
Yes! Why are people so dang afraid of the virus? Do people want to go back the middle ages?

This is very sad. They probably do believe this I'd they've heard others say this. I pity this kid and despise their parents.
I remember saying equally cringe-y things in 5th grade. This is believable.
Of course that child (and its parents) would never have been allowed into a public school without them but yeah, sure.
That Kid Loved It
This event supposedly took place after Hannah "read" her father's thesis.
Load More Replies...Well, maybe not an 8-year-old, but 10-year-old me was perfectly capable of writing awkward notes like these to my parents ... so I'm inclined to believe this one.
Never saw a kid signing with 'Your younger daughter' - this is getting suspicious.
Same vibe as a kid giving the teacher a sick note signed "Gandalf's mom and dad"
Load More Replies...This one looks true to me. The dad even puts “read” in quotes which shows to me that he knows she didn’t really read it. Looks like she was pretending to read it and wanted to do a nice sweet thing for her dad. Sounds to me like she had a conversation with mom about dad’s big project. And as a teacher, this handwriting definitely looks like an actual kid’s.
This could be true, depending on the 8 year old. She didn't actually have to understand any of it, she's just being supportive.
If she read a whole thesis on genomes, I'd hope she'd know how to spell it.

From The Mouth Of A First Grader
Yeah, that was a good way to live when there were few people and their hunting had little to no impact on nature as a whole. If everyone who wants to, just goes shooting things now, there won’t be any nature left in a few years.
The only way that came from the mouth of a first grader is because you slipped the paper you wrote it on into her breakfast peanut butter sandwich and she spat it out in disgust.
"we should be able to interact with nature" - ie shoot animals for no reason other than gratification.
I'm Sure That's Exactly What She Said
Don't seven year olds read books about farm animals and s**t like that?
Not necessarily. I got really into reading the child rearing books my folks had at that age as well as the childhood disease books. Each to their own. My favorite book was about a squirrel and I really like Watership Down. If you learn to read early, you start reading older books early. My grandma was a grammar school teacher back in the 30's so she started me way early. I couldn't swing Jack London on my own though. My grandma had been reading the books to me back when I was 3 or so and I just like her reading them more than trying to read them myself. I really liked medical books though, even though I didn't quite understand everything.
Load More Replies...Ok, I know this is fake but actually does anyone have any suggestions on books like this?

My Insanely Smart Unvaxxed Kid Should Develop Faster Than Yours
EVERY child and I mean EVERY child progresses at their own rate. Not sitting for very long by themselves at 7 months is not unusual. Some kids walk by 7-8 months and some not until they’re 18 months to 2 years. My daughter had 8 teeth by the time she was 3 months. I thought that was weird. Most don’t get them until almost a year. But it wasn’t weird, just different. All children are different including siblings in their progressions. I did child care for over 25 years and can give you a really good piece of advice……. If you’re concerned don’t ask your friend or a relative ……. ask your doctor. Yep. They will tell you if it’s something to be concerned about based on their knowledge and not experience. Sounds like a whole lot of kids on this post are ready for their Pulitzer! Never worry based on something your friend said. Just cause their child can recite the entire constitution by age 18 months does not make it true. Go with your gut and ask your doctor.
Maybe when he finally learns how to walk he can leave the house and go get his damn flew shot, if he's so smart that is

Wow that’s probably the worst of this. Who accepts this behaviour, you miserable excuse for a human?
As I have heard it explained, there is a strong link between the nerves around the body, and especially to the eyes, since they take up more space in the brain, they impede on certain other areas, mostly the frontal lobe, what makes us human (on a physical level). this is caused by an unknown phenomena in the womb, it's hereditary, meaning that it can't be caused by VAXes, furthermore, the only reason nurodivergent peoples like myself are becoming more numerous, is because it has only just now been accepted by most. Previously, we where tortured, shunned, and killed because of something we couldn't control. I find these sort of comments idiotic and highly offensive, nurodivergency is not even bad for the people who it doesn't effect negatively.

Normal kids say and do these things, especially if they are around adults who talk about it a lot.
