well l agree it will affect ur relationship with ur parents and ur siblings.

naturally, its not gud to use abusive words on ur children, coz u never can tell wen d wicked ones are arround, and i learnt there's an angel going up an down to say "amen" to watever he met u say. Anoda tin is no matter d gud words u say to ur children, they'll be watever dey want to be, dat is if their destiny has not been tampered wit by d evil ones (AWON IYA).
i knw of a woman dat neva say any negative words to d children even if she knws quite well they r wrong, but d first born is a "gbewiri", can steal in broad day lite, not minding d distance from his house, he's been caught several times, beating and disgraced publicly and brought home to d parent, but still, he continues and d woman never opens her mouth to call him names, instead she'll call him "omo olori're"
d most important tin is for parents to pray dat d enemies will not av power over their children

it is not right to use abusive words on any one,not to talk about kids

Causing is totally different from correcting when he/she does smth unacceptable. Couldn't she have cautioned him without using negative words?!

She calls him "Omo Olori're"?!. . .She prolly meant "Omo Olori ike"!

she definitely do correct him, but she'l neva use words like "oloriburuku omo, o lo do ju timi". guessed d boy is just been possessed wit d spirit of stealing

The obvious answer is No.

Go n see the movie 'Precious'.

Obviously d answer is NO, but then some parents are so fond of it that they hardly remember

d harvoc they re causing d child. God help us sha.

Parents should make conscious effort never to use abusive words on or curse their children,there are ways of driving home your point

well parents use it n r still usin it.if u ask dem y,u already know d ansa DIS IS AFRICA N I BELIEVE IN DISCIPLINE.dats y d boys grow up 2 be verbal n physical abusers 2 dia wives n kids n d galz grow up 2 be aggressive.any small disagreement dey r ready 4 physical fight,even on d strret.however d best way of correcting a child is 2 give him a thousand n one reasons y wot he did is bad in a livin way unlike d former,d kids do wot dey wana do because dady is not there but unlike d latter kids understand beta n make adjustmen,so even wen mumy isnt there dey obey

NO
NEVER
EVER

i dont believe in using abusive words on ur kids. who knws wht sort of angel is passing by at that time. betterstill u can say it the other way like: se olorire niiwo omo yi and stuffs like dat

capital NO.

Out of frustration, parents tend to use abusive words on their children. when there is noone to blame for their problems, they blame the children. I feel the pressure of taking care of a child is the reason for this but that does not mean you should cause your children.

it nt rit using abusive words dem at all.

It is really wrong to curse or verbally abuse anyone, most especially your child! I think those who do so are not enlightened about the power of the tongue.

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, those who love it shall eat its fruit thereof."

There are better ways of rebuking a child and abuse certainly is not one of them.

It is totally wrong for parents to use abusive words on their children,remember the Bible says the power of life and death is in the tongue so lets watch the way we use our tongues not only "PARENTS"

nah. . . Not a good thing. Why would any sane parent(s) want to do that?? Asides the fact that AWON IYA might be around to say a wicked silent amen, it is unacceptable for you to say unpleasant things at your children or anyone's children at that!
When you watch Yoruba movies a lot, you would know it's not a brilliant thing to do!! *parents!!*
And if you are a christian, you really should know better!

What you call a child is what he will become.If you call him/her a stubborn goat . . . . . . then don't be surprised when he/she starts to behave like one.

Topic
If they want to and as long as the children are not going to chuck hot slaps at their parents. . .Why not?!

Bukittes:

You know sometimes nairalanders post some topics they already know the answer to. Why do we keep doing this now?
@ Poster, u said u learnt, haba, even a toddler knows this now, find a more challenging topic that will help everyone and not these kind of nursery questions we ask here. Abeg, we need to grow up.

You are absolutely right.This are not the kind of topics we need to post on nairaland.We need something more challenging.I wonder why people are commenting on the topic.Are you all kids?

No
its Bad
my Dad uses words like stupid somebody
my Mom uses Fool
But It didnt Affect me
any way its not God

Lol @ topic,
Any parent that uses abusive words on their child --> That ain't right.

My dad is funny, he was so overprotective of us when we were younger (even now). When we were little girls he used to teach us words like bum-cum and buffoon so we could use on anyone that looked for our trouble or tried to pick a fight with us. AND if we ever got into a fight, he taught us to "scratch them, bite them!"

I love my daddy! But I hardly ever got into fights. It's now that Naija dey teach me how to insult, Lol.

"b u m - c u m"

words are  powerful in africa culture. we do not use nagative word in yorubaland. it is consider close to a tabo to do so.

we believe, it has effect on the child.

children are so important in africa culture, that if you kill a person, the person is allowed to kill yours. You do not take people children in africa culture. if you do, his whole ethnics group would come after. You saw the bomber in the USA. a whole 50 million people would come after your country. It is call ethnics honour.

They can close down your embassy and all your citizen living in that country would be in danger. children are no go area in africa. it leads to war.

If you take an africa child in america, the man whole ethnics group would can round up all america children in nigeria and kill them all. So children are no go area in africa culture.

No

it is not good for parent to use abusive words on children but due to what the child did the parent may be too angry and may insult the child but in my own view it is not good

Exactly my thought

Definitely not! Cos the tongue is a powerful weapon.
