@OP, as good as we all want to make our children happy, we must know that a cell phone is more than five times dirtier than the toilet seat. Please keep the phone away from children.

Mr seun, seriouly if you need pple to stop askin dat question that can get them ban,i guess you know the question,then not all useless topics should grace the front page


i can't see how this affect the price of amala

Warfibabe: haba seun! if you are in your house, will you keep your phone in your bag?
besides my son cries for it especially wen he sees me talking with it. And there are also children who can unbelieveably climb every corners of their house once they see anything that interests them.

Will he shed blood if you don't give him?

It has been jokingly said that life was much easier when Apple and Blackberry were just fruits. I guess 21st century has its downsides also, which we just have to get used to. Meanwhile what is the fuss about the market price of garri on Nairaland when people are having intellectual discussions? Some other humans like us (in the sense of one head with no horns) are out there probing the far-off universe and the deep seas for the next big thing, here we are, consoling ourselves about the price of an endangered 'meal'. Is garri Nigerian internet users the perfect idea of mr splashy pants? (you might want to goggle that). I guess we can't beat a poor man out of his poverty anyway... (So sorry if it hits you hard!) SMH

agabaI23:
Will he shed blood if you don't give him?

Help me ask o!

Seun pls stop banning this people with the price of garri they sometimes make this threds lively

U wont cos of a child not use a fone n cos of a fone not bear children. The issue here is knowing how 2 manage ur kids.

We kids of nowadays think you "adults" are just too wicked and selfish!

Who told you we cant distinguish between a real BB or Touchscreen and a Chinese, imitation plastic phone?

who told you you are the only one entitled to cute phones?

Okay, they cost a lot of money and we will probably drool on them or chew them......and so what?

What about all our money that people gave us on our naming ceremony, what happened to those cash?

When you were organizing naming ceremony and one year birthday for us, you think we dont know why you made it so elaborate? Is it not because you know we would pull in a lot of gifts and money?
Is that your money or my money, you thieving parent!

My own Mum will dress me up when she is broke and take me on a walk down the street (l was very cute and chatty) and before you could say "ATM", people on the streets were harassing me (such a fine boi, he's got lovely eyes, some even pluck my cheeks and that hurts!) and she was collecting "the returns" and smiling inside her head!

Get home and she will not even accord me the respect of deciding how much of it l am willing to share with her!

Damn!! We'll urinate on your best phone and l will pooh on your remotes.
We will eat your #5,000 note (God bless that funky Mallam) if we ever lay our hands on it.
And your car keys we will hide under the Sofa until you learn to give us what belongs to us!

By the way, you think we dont speak and communicate with each other, right?
You think we are as dumb as we pretend, right? Well, l got news for you all Adults...
Adults sucks!

What I observed last week with my 1y+ boy was that he is more aware of difference between the real phone and toy, I bought two different toy phone that week and when a phone rang he dropped the toy and eager to pick the real phone.

Well kids will always be kids while growing and would always be on a learning process which brings the curiosity about phones to them..mostly kids of nowadays.
But seriously, HDTATPOGITM...
Seun it wasn't me ooo

As a parent, one should be able to curtail our children, I hav 3 kids and they neither toy with our phones or remote controls. Does it mean if the child cries for your eye, you'll pluck it from your eye socket and give it to him or her ? !. Children's wants are endless, it is left for we their parents to decide which one they should have. Na wa for some parents ooooooooo.

Tusky44: And how does this affect the price of AMALA? Since g*rri gets you a ban now.

well if the amal seller gets his/her phone spoilt then the seller has to make extra money and may jerk up the prices

Why not get them toy mobile phone with sound and light?

Warfibabe: For Parents With Young Children. Do You Still Use Expensive Phones?

My nearly 7 month old son prefer our phones to any of his toys, and shrieks every-time we try to make him give them back. Now one of my phones is already with the repairers as he has filled that with so much saliva, that if anyone calls, it would sound like rain.. My other phone (not as expensive) is now his new best friend, though i try to take it away from him sometimes. He will not let it rest especially when he catches me talking to anyone with it.. A friend of mine told me one of her children broke her bb screen and she is yet to fix the phone, §he cant buy any more expensive phones cus according to her " the children will still spoil it". My husband too is of the same view, and also jokingly pointed out that no matter how expensive the phones cost, by the time it is thrown into water, the parents of such a child can never kill that child because of it.. So my question here is do you parents still use expensive phones? if you do, how come you are still able to use one?
thanks.

why not just get him a REAL phone e.g that nokia 100 or a tecno phone? i'm sure one of the reasons they can differentiate is because of the weight. then buy plenty of colourful cases for the phone so you can change the cases and they make the phone look different;

.bbpreye:
I just wonder how this silly thread makes the front page
Later when we ask how it affects the price of something in the. Something seun will ban us!
This thread is the most use.less thread av ever read on nairaland
Dammmmmm! Seun I don't know y u dropped a comment
Maybe u're trying to reduce the number of people following the ga*** movement.
But it will not work!
He who has not eaten ga*** before should cast the first ban!

But seriosly how does this................. In the market? Fill in the blank spaces!

President

really stale.get something new preye

blackedwin: The bible says train up a child in a way he/she should grow,we have a 2yr old daughter who grew with the same behavior as complained by other concerned parents,what did we do we sat back and consulted journals,spoke with specialist in kids handling,today our 2yr old daughter will pick up any of our phones when the is a call and will give it to the right parent.
Actions
1-stand your ground and say no to their demand for the phone don't get emotional,if you start giving in to their demand the take it for their right and once it's not done all the time the get red.
2-if you must, try and teach them the pros and cons,you may say the are very small but you will be amazed at what the will do later
3-Reward them for good behavior it goes a long way to send good signal.

I agree with you 100%. I have a 3year old and at some point fiddles with my phones and even knew how to open it when i lock it but after a stern and firm warning she doesn't go near the phones only when it is ringing and to give me or her mum.

I dont get it when parents say their children destroy their phones while they just laugh it off as part of life until the child destroy something bigger than phones.

Baby this, baby that, I'm sure bbpreye will like to ask how this topic makes garri readily available and cheap for consumption by parents

How did your "stern and firm warning" work on your 3 year old when she was 1+? Do you think people will just stupidly hand over their phones to their kids for the phones to get smashed and then start applauding them? Why not think before you post next time?

Because it takes time to learn

My daughter drowned my phone because I fell a sleep on the couch when she was 1 year old. Wich means; my own damn fault.
I have said no to her every time. But when it calls, she is more than welcome to come say hi to the one on the phone 90% of the time. She know that no means no now, but at 1years? Thats when she started understanding what belonged to whom.

I think instead of giving your babies your so called expensive phones u should give them garri instead. mcheew. My take.

My chip, i love kids die, and i always tell my peeps that if not for 9ja economic situation i would have had a truckload of them by now, but from what i have read here, it seems like some of the parents here including the poster are over indulging these kids, like they are handicapped or something and can't put your foot down and stop them from messing with your phones, apart from the radiation these devices emit and the bacteria they carry, it is not healthy for kids to make a phone their toy, and it is never to early to let them know that phone is not their and they should stay away from it, subtly at first, especially when they are really young and more forcefully as they grow older, these are the little things we take for granted until these kids think they should be able to do whatever they want. that is why you area a parent, to control and guide them until they are matured enough to know left from right..
PS. i hardly subscribe to beating kids, although sometimes it is necessary but do it with love

Pimples: MY neighbors kid seems to have been programmed to operate phones from his mother's womb...

My 4 year old son can play increadible games on phone his 20 year old senior cannot comprehend. He prefer phone games to their ps2.

Well in as much as I know that kids love cell phones so much I also believe that parent would have to do more work in instilling a discipline on them by putting the phone away from them at cost believe they will get use to the fact that this is not their toy when you make it clear to them even if they will cry and cry!!!!
