You don burst my belle with laff...

blingxx:


my mom tells me things a lot worse than this,.... those things that will make you fall into depression ...... I still love her tho

I am happy for you for looking other way when she does that, but you will need to make her realise the bad effect of what she is saying. Some parent do say bad things,even curse their children whenever they misbehave. Some children thereby grow up with the curse and behave as per the curse. Parents need be told that it is not good to say bad things to their children.

You need to hear what comes out of some parents mouth, OP's list na child's play. On Sunday I saw a woman tell her child _ "my life would have been better if I didn't have you".

so Sad

LUCKIE2014:


The full abuses that you received from your parents, what have you done with it. The most sensitive beings on earth are children, new to this world, they need things explained to them. You will be amazed at their thought process which is mostly inquisitive are at this stage. It takes a lot of patient, love, maturity and some firmness to bring up a child in the way they shouldne brought... Sadly the Nigerian folks dont seem to have these traits.

Why is it that many of you on Nairaland don't take your time to understand people's views before reacting to them?

Anything wey this Jumia Travel Agency dey post nor dey ever make sense.
I can tell my Child practice makes perfect
I can tell my child I can't afford what I can't afford
Stupid post

DarkRebel69:


.... The truth is that many Nigerian parents are mentally and emotionally unfit to raise children.


.... yet the physical and/or verbal abuse of children is seen as a non-issue which invariably is followed by moral backings that draws from a silly quotation in a silly book that says, "Spare the rod and spoil the child"?

Did you know that in the US, a parent is killed everyday by their own child? And that one of the causes usually is when a severely abused child gets pushed beyond his/her limits? Tell me, how much longer do you think it'd take before African children begin to toy with the idea of parricide?

Inasmuch as d write up makes some sense, u r totally wrong, at least as far as d African context is concerned. In d US or UK, d govt spend billions of dollars rehabilitating deviant children in their prison system yet dey prohibit d family system from imposing discipline in diz kids. But it's different in d African societies. What is d essence of our cultures? From where i come from, it takes a whole village to bring up a child. So how cud a whole village get it wrong?
We don't need bestsellers on child to know how to raise our kids. Guess what, most of diz bestselling authors don't even hav kids! Or want any. We were raised up d traditional ways...pampering, discipline, luv...see how we turned out.

I swear u were stubborn as a child

Opinionated:
If you have a child, are responsible for a child, or have children around you in any way and at any time, you must erase these words from your vocabulary and refrain from saying them to a child. This is because a child’s mind and perception of the world is very fragile in their formative years, so you have to be careful not to impact them negatively with your words. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares 5 things you should never say to a child.

“Practice Makes Perfect”

This popular phrase is what most children have grown up hearing and most parents erroneously believe that this phrase encourages a child to work harder and attain great things. However, most of the time, this is not so. This adage sends a message that if a child doesn’t win or excel, it means the child didn’t work hard enough. This weakens the child’s confidence as he/she grows up believing every failure is caused by his/her incompetence or inability to put in enough effort. It’s better to say instead that ‘practice makes better’ rather than ‘practice makes perfect’.

“You’re Okay”

This is another popular phrase with Nigerian parents. It might seem like the best thing to reassure a child that he/she is okay when he/she has been hurt physically or emotionally, but it isn’t right to force this reality on a child who just isn’t okay. For a child to be sad about something or to come crying to you, it means the child is not okay. You should learn to help the child acknowledge his/her emotions to help him/her understand and deal with them, rather than dismiss them. It’s not like you should never say this to a child, but there are some scenarios you shouldn’t say this.

“I’m on a Diet”

If you struggle with your weight, shape or size, try to keep this struggle as far away from a child as possible. If a child sees you stepping on a scale every day and hears you complaining all the time about being fat and ugly, he/she (especially girls) can develop body image issues. Rather than telling a child you’re on diet, it’s better to say ‘I’m eating healthy and I exercise because it’s great for the body and my heart’. This can inspire the child to join you and live a healthy life.

“We Can’t Afford That”

Most people will think that being bold enough to tell a child this, is teaching the child to be responsible, but this is more counter-productive than productive. Keep money issues as far away as you can from children; they are too young to bear that burden. Choose alternative light-hearted ways to tell your child you can’t afford something. You can try saying you’re saving for something special for the family or that you’ll get it for them later. If the child insists, then it’s a perfect opportunity to teach the child in simple terms about budgeting, saving and managing money.

“Let Me Help”

Again, it’s not like you should never say this to a child, but you should refrain from doing so often. It’s better to let the child ask or give some kind of signal asking for help or even come to you for help, than you jumping in to offer unsolicited help to a child. This can undermine the child’s independence and cause him/her to start looking to others all the time for answers and assistance. When your child asks for help, try asking guiding questions or guiding the child first, to see if the child gets it on his/her own. If he/she doesn’t, then you can help.

I can never forget when my dad said a dead animal is better than me.
OP, u didn't add that they should stop comparing children.

All parts of the world has different ways of training their children but it's all about training your child with God fearing by controlling your temper if your little kid frustrate you and learn how to sense what could be the problem of your kids so that will enable you as parents to know how to solve their problems as teenagers also hard to manage but what matter most is continuity of advice to him/her with prayer. May God help parents

thanks mum.
I will not fail you

TheLogicalMind:

One omission: Always telling a child that you will call the police if he or she fails to do her chores or errands. It gives the child an early impression that the police are a tool for oppression.

That is 70 percent of Nigerian police work.

emeijeh:

thanks mum.
I will not fail you

am always proud of you my son

ijayebonyi:
