It's not their guardian's fault that some of these kids are brilliant and some of them got double promotions in primary school.



My cousin is just 13 and in SSS2 as we speak. It was just yesterday her mum was telling her that no matter the outcome of her SSCE she will spend at least 2 extra years at home and she will use the period to complete the hair making training she's currently doing on weekend basis now.

I laugh in Swahili. Which double promotion and in which school?. Is it not a private school whose main purpose is to make profit and the only way to do that is if you keep your child in the school especially if you pay regularly and on schedule. If a parent that is paying regularly 'requests' for a double promotion for his/her child or else 'i withdraw him/her from your school to another school', the proprietor will even ask you if you want triple promotion. brilliant ko, brilliant ni. You don ever see any child that fails for private primary school?. All of them always pass with high marks and have you ever ask why position in class is never included?. When you tell me that the child is attending one of the Catholic primary schools where the motive is not profit, then i will believe your brilliant and double promotion story.

You're entitled to your opinion bro.


When my cousin was given the second promotion like that even her Mum tried to reject it until her Dad said they should leave the girl alone.


I don't know of any other child(ren) but even in secondary school this girl is still performing creditably and she's now in a public secondary school in Lagos.

So if she is that hot, why is her mother saying " It was just yesterday her mum was telling her that no matter the outcome of her SSCE she will spend at least 2 extra years at home". She should enter University straight now and even go ahead to do PHD. Is she not matured at 14 to enter University?.

Anyway, i do not want to really drag the issue by asking for the names of the primary and secondary schools.

Ok I'm just seeing this thread and decided to add my two cents. Like some people said, start by finding out his friends and with the help of his teachers cause a separation if them friends are a bad influence. Secondly, I'm not sure what mode of punishment you give him when he offends. If you stay in Nigeria please try some punishment that will make him feel the pain even days after. For example, my dad hardly flogged us but his punishments will reset our brains quickly. I could list them on demand if you want. Make him understand things that can earn him punishment. Also, do not threaten to punish him if you know you won't carry out your threat. If you ever threaten please make sure you carry it out. Finally, at this age you need to do more talking and less flogging(flog when you really have to). Talk, talk, talk, keep talking and don't stop talking. Make him understand that there are repercussions to every action, good or bad. On days when he acts right, he should be acknowledged and on reverse day please do not hesitate to spell it out to him that he crossed the line. This is the age you have to give in your all to moulding that child's life. Well done ma'am. The Lord is your strength.

He's still a child. Just 8yrs I presume. Any mild punishment for a child his age should do. But the most important thing now is to separate him from his set of friends or seat partners in school. Speak to his teacher for help. And try to talk and warn him for an extended period of time before punishing. Please be extremely careful so as not to inflict any bodily harm. He'll turn out great I believe. Cheers.

Deny him of his popular TV or DSTV program for a period. When you finally let him watch after the expiration, he will maintain because he knows what will be coming when next time he misbehaves. Tell him 'no more watching of DSTV till further notice if you continue to misbehaves'. You know children and cartons especially Tom and Jerry.
