I have come to realize that most Nigerian parents lie to their kids to get them to obey them. Last weekend, I was at my aunt's place who has two adorable boys. One, a two year old and the other a year old. They were making a racket and my aunt in order to make them stop said "you would have big breasts like mine if you don't keep shut" And automatically, they stopped the noise. Another instance was when she told them to sleep early unless their eyes would pop out. Lol This one actually got me laughing. Now my question is, Is it right? Or wrong to do this ? |

It is very wrong to lie to kids in order to deter them from doing something. There are many truthful ways to get kids to do your bidding. You are laying a very wrong foundation and distorting their logical minds. In summary, it is very very wrong. |

Jennimma: and then, the man will be stamping hot knocks on my head for coming 2nd As for me, I'll rather look for other convincing ways to make them do my bidding than lie, except if its something sensitive that I have to cover it up with a lie.. My 2wraps  |

Its not good @long run seen a case when d kids were grown, they lost respect to a certain degree cos theyve realized the "fried lies" they were made to believe. That mirror own seems everywhere sha! 1 Like |

daveP: Fried lies OP, take a twenty first century two and half toddler to a movie theatre and try to lie her age at the counter to get a free pass and see if she won't disgrace you. Your Aunt's day of reckoning is fast approaching, let her take them out and try that nonsense, these kids eye tear pass something else. 1 Like |

To me it's very very wrong U won't get to b trusted by ur kids because of how many times you've lowered their expectations by lying |

Ewuro4:lmao! The one told about an uncle and on getting there, its otherwise. The kid then repeats the "Lies" in the presence of mother and uncle. Mother would be like.... mother: (winking and using sign language for kid to shut the hell up) kid: but mummy why are you doing like that?(demostrates)... Fastforward to when they arrive back home..... (mother canes her pikin and the whole world knows.) mothers take the lies about morals, wrong or right, action, fathers on the other hand are common with the "I was the 1st in my class way back then" type of lie. |

kingphilip:Yea, I agree too but when things need to be done immediately like in my first instance, don't you think "lying" should be employed? Then again, how do you stop them from making noise? |

When you feel like lying to them....... Give them a believable lie and not just those petite lies This days children are so sharp and can detect you when you are not looking to see if what you said earlier is the truth or lies... So, its better you don't lie and scold them than lying and they start calling you LYING lying MUM/DAD |

It makes a child really dumb in some cases. I can remember for how long I believed orange tree would grow on my head if I swallowed a seed or how rice might grow cos I always wanted to eat rice. I believed those nonsense for a good while. A simple explanation of the effects of too much carbohydrates would have sufficed. 1 Like 1 Share |

Jennimma:hmmmmm lemme share today's experience to u then it's somehow related My mum does daycare in our parlor and I left my room to come assist ha in some chores.. On getting there, the 5 kids around were making noise n there is a certain level of noise I tolerate.. 3 are between the ages of 5-6 while the other two were between the ages of 2 and 3 On deciding to punish them I noticed a mathematics textbook for primary one pupils with one of the bigger boys then an idea struck me why not keep this people busy with the book I tore three leaves from my book and gave to each of the older ones and luckily my mum keeps pencil which I gave to each of them and asked them to write 1-100 and then simple addition thereafter When we finished that it was already 10:30 and I asked them to eat n go and sleep While the younger ones I gave them ball to play with that I was able to minimize the noise to the extent I tolerate Summarily I think there's a better option.. This is ur child u should know him in and out if he likes playing with toys get one for him, if he enjoys one thing or the other get it for him and keep it at arms length incase in such a time when u need to do something important u can leave him with that and he'll even forget u r around, focus on his favorite and you'll do ur thing conveniently Sorry for d long epistle 2 Likes |
