Correct!

I completely agree. It's always nice to see those who share a love for reading. Nice one.

this woman thrives on enthrenchinh divisions. Civil war, feminism, it's always one thing or another. Behind the smile there is a lot of hate in her heart.

All these feminists trying to encroach into male space while holding onto the privileges of the 'weaker sex' sef..

She made a point with the reward for reading bit though.

Well i can understand rewarding a child for hardwork .but this sha maybe she meant create a reward system for reading. . She get her act together on the whole sexism and feminism thing sha . Yes women are underrated in some parts of the world, the key is not acting like you don't need a man's help but acknowledging you can do with or without help from a man . Men love when women do stuff they see men do and still act like ladies

All this Lgbt perverts using style to write that it's okay for your child to adopt a sense of being an opposite sex that they truly aren't. Are they not supposed to kill and stifle that aspect of their spirit in the first place to act as the sex that they were born with? Dumb write please "Receive Sense" right now

A lot of people on this thread do not understand about the psychological and mental benefits of what she means by "pay your child to read"....... Nigerians will always be gullible and lack wisdom to move forward, we lack creativity and can't think outside the box, that's why we will continue to remain where we are......as if they will not thank the gods that their parents are paying them to read. rubbish! hypocrisy of the highest order!

madam why are you hyperventilating? lipsrsealed

Who ever that's behind this moniker is synonymous with insults and foul languages, it was the same insultive comments that makes me to identify with your moniker

before you come for my head as I'm not immune to your insults, I'm not blaming you, rather your background which influenced your behaviours

Some people obviously don't get her point. Too bad yet she typed in English. All in all she is trying to buttress the fact that children naturally get to enjoy doing things in as much they do it anyway often. Thats where the "pay your child to read" came up. As they get rewarded by cash it further motivates them and naturally a well brought up child should know that the benefits to be enjoyed goes beyond monetary ones.

sisisioge:

Very funny deduction there! Guy, this new age has totally moved away from reading so whatever it takes now is welcomed just to get them to read. A stipend promised to Junior is enough to encourage him to read. Reading does wonders for a child's mind. Encourage them to read pls.

Are you answering him, it's obvious he didn't even READ the article lol

Pls " I am nt understanding" I shud pay my child to read even after payin his/her skool fees nd d likes ??

A kind of incentive thou .... Rather da to pay him, I ll gv him/her sumtin else dat ll motivate him

sir she was not talking about school books. She talking about books tha relate to different things, which spark your inquisitive news, and make you think beyond what's taught in school (by force)

Some of us have that natural inquisitiveNess, but some children need some kind of motivation, reward system to know what they are doing is right.
Remember Ben Carson, I think his mom used television. Cover certain chapters and youlld be able to watch tv

As much as spanking isn't bad, it should be last resort for serious cases. You as a parent should be able to think out of the box on ways to instill discipline without always resorting to the whip, that's a short cut and you know the evils of shortcuts.

Ol'boy, u be reader o. U started early sha. Mine was in secondary school & e be like say I read pass u.
I read most of "The African Series" "Pacesetters" "James Hadley Chase" Robert Ludlum" Sidney Sheldon" "Mario Puzo" etc. I also read some "Mills & Boons", "Harleyquine" etc series that was my sister's tuff. While she was was reading romance, I was reading crime & espionage series.
I even have an unpublished novel (titled : Dealier Than The Gun) that was rejected by "MacMillan". I still keep d rejection letter till date. someday, I shall put d story into cinema. grin

Reading was in-thing in those days.

Sadly, our children don't read anymore & we complain that they are shallow. Why won't they be shallow?

Reading opens up a child to serious imaginations.

I still read bizness books uptill now.

Pavore9:
She is so right, there should be incentives. Though l read as a child to escape into another world, having to have read Things Fall Apart, Kongi's Harvest, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Our Husband Has Gone Mad Again, Rob Roy etc all before l finished primary school. While reading on the bed, it made my mind travel round the world! While l was in Secondary school, l did save to buy second-hand novels because l was addicted to reading.

Reading outside school texts is real fun!
