Mark Zuckerberg reveals one of the first few words he chose to teach his third child

Meta co-founder Mark Zuckerberg revealed one of the first few words he chose to teach his third child. In a freewheeling interview, Zuckerberg said, “Our one-year-old, one of the words we’ve chosen to teach her is what sound a bear makes. She just says ‘Grrr.'”

Zuckerberg then jokes that it’s like “kind of a third kid thing”. He went on to say, “First children, it’s like I’m going to teach you everything about the world. When you get to the third child, it’s like one of your four pieces of knowledge to teach you what sound a bear makes.”

Zuckerberg shared a few fun details about his personal life during a conversation with “The Circuit” on Bloomberg Originals. He discussed his family life, lessons from the Roman Empire and how technology is changing and what it means to be human. Zuckerberg also discussed how the company’s latest AI model Llama 3.1 will shape the future of business, technology and society.

Bloomberg visited Zuckerberg’s retreat in Lake Tahoe to talk about his personal development as a leader and learn how to wake surf with Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan.

He told the channel that he braids Max’s, his first child’s, hair every day.

Asked how he finds time for it all — the sport, the side missions of being a dad, Zuckerberg said: “I actually think having balance between different things that you do helps you do all the things better.”

“My parents stressed the importance of doing more than just academics. Like, I want our kids to be like that too. We teach them surfing, Jiujitsu and martial arts,” Zuckerberg added.

“I think they’re a bit young to learn to hit, but I want to get there too,” he added.
