Assuming your child returns home and reports sb hits them, or you discovered it was for one of the below occasions, how would you react?


1. For not greeting them.

2. For hitting their child.

3. For a morally wrong conduct (eg., sexually related, or theft)

4. Playing football in a place they don't approve.

5. Playing with their child.

6. Refusing running an errand.

All will be valid to me except for number 5. That one does not make sense at all

Some adults beat children for not running their errands.

How will you react?

Bros I am an African, and I grew up with the idea that running errands for my elders was a sign of respect. So it's a cultural norm in African society which I support 100%. And if my child does not emulate such, it is a sign he is rebellious and if he is disciplined in the process, so be it

the atmospheric condition in Nigeria has made some people assuming things like they are on jan ja

Not everyone means what they say.

its ok except number 5.....I will be calm to ask why, may be my child is far older than hers and was engaging her child in a very rough play. but, if they are of the same age then I will insult the woman

It's better you report any offense to me instead of beating him.or her. Let me be the one to discipline my child. I think there will be a greater impact than an outsider doing the beating.

Insult her?


To what effect?

I think I like this idea.

Bros, honestlyI can't stand discrimination in any form.....I will never tolerate or overlook it

This question is relevant if you plan to bring up your kids in face-me-i slap you kind of apartments

You mean if a child is being naughty around where I am, I'm supposed to stand up to go look for it's parents just to report?

Being naughty is not part of the list. Look at the list.

Unless you have a different definition for the word naughty, but all the listed except 5 are naughty behaviours.

Let me beat my child myself or her father. I don't just beat children, I would rather report them to their parents. Except that child is kept in my care to look after.

That reporting stuff never suits me. I'm mostly temperate with kids because I know they don't know better. But aunty, if your pikin carry do pass e sef, I go beat am walahi talahi .

Yes actually

Please don’t hit other people’s children. I would say don’t hit yours too but that’s your business.
Certainly do not touch other people’s children. If it’s my child, you would be a in a world of pain. Don’t do it

It will suit you if hopefully you get freed from possible consequences of beating up a child especially not yours.

I think naughty is subject.

Some people don't like sb hitting their child.

Personally, I'd like to punish my kids myself. I wouldn't tolerate sb hitting them.

I can't understand any reason for sb hitting my child. I am respected if reported to. I understand hitting my child as the peak of disregard.

I may do the undone to the beater.

Absolutely.

I don't even hit my siblings, nor sb in my care.


I rather deploy other punitive measures.

If I am the parent, that's the only option you have, sincerely.

You don't hit my kids.


I'll so get into you.

I won’t say I don’t understand it because a lot of us were raised to see it as nothing. Including me. Teachers at school would hit you as punishment, aunties and uncles in the extended family would spank you. We consider it good training. Which it isn’t.

What I don’t understand is the unwillingness to unlearn bad things. Because you’re raised that way doesn’t mean you can’t unlearn unwholesome things you learned while growing up.

That’s the current problem we are having. Unwillingness to unlearn.

Nobody should ever beat my child for ANY reason!! Nobodyn
