jaybee:

baby girls are born with their eggs intact. so a two year old (or less) baby can become pregnant if a healthy spamatozoon finds its way to her eggs.

Oh dear, I thought that only when a girl starts to menstruate can she then get pregnant. I better go and read my biology again.
shall update when I find out more.

eku_bear: I wonder why this doesn't work with Nigerians. Indians for example tend to go back home to marry, then carry their wife back here to live with them. I've never heard any stories about those Indian women acting out.

Hrm, maybe it only backfires for Nigerians if you import a woman much poorer than yourself, rather than someone from a similar educational background, etc?

Kinda interesting, though.

Well Indian marriages are mostly arranged marriages. For Indian marriages you also have different scenarios

You can have an Indian girl abroad who is probably educated and is betrothed to a semi illiterate man back home in India
or you can have an Indian man abroad who is betrothed to an Indian girl back home. However since they tend to live together with parents, the girl can be dominated by her in-laws and is almost a slave in the household (This is for the really bad cases)

We should also remember that Nigerian women do have a lot more freedom than Indian women and Nigerian women apart from the
Muslims are not oppressed in the same way Indian women are oppressed.

What to do if your child is being bullied (this what i learned)

Encourage your child to share his or her concerns. Remain calm, listen in a loving manner and support your child's feelings. Express understanding and concern. You might say, "I understand you're having a rough time. Let's work together to deal with this." Remind your child that he or she isn't to blame for being bullied.

Learn as much as you can about the situation. Ask your child to describe how and when the bullying occurs and who is involved. Ask if other children or adults have witnessed any bullying incidents. Find out what your child may have done to try to stop the bullying.

Teach your child how to respond to the bullying. Don't promote retaliation or fighting back against a bully. Instead, encourage your child to maintain his or her composure. He or she might say, "I want you to stop now," and then simply walk away. Suggest sticking with a friend or group of friends while on the bus, in the cafeteria or wherever the bullying seems to happen. Remind your child that he or she can ask teachers or other school officials for help.

Contact school officials. Talk to your child's teacher, the school counselor and the school principal. If your child has been physically attacked or otherwise threatened with harm, talk to school officials immediately to help determine if the police should be involved. Don't contact the bully's parents yourself. You may also want to encourage school officials to address bullying as part of the curriculum.

Follow up. Keep in contact with school officials. If the bullying seems to continue, be persistent.

Boost your child's self-confidence. Help your child get involved in activities that can raise self-esteem, such as sports, music or art. Encourage your child to make contact with friendly students in his or her class and develop his or her social skills.

Know when to seek professional help. Consider professional or school counseling for your child if his or her fear or anxiety becomes overwhelming.

Hi have you tried this approach and it works. Please let me know. I would love to get to this stage.

My son is allowed to give the child 3 warnings and the 4th attempt of bullying, he should retaliate. I believe that this gives everyone time to take appropriate action.

Hello,

Sometimes we want a get well quick solution, but this does not work in some cases. What struck me about what you have written about yourself is that you say you are not a dullard. And you always do well in your work. Is it possible that you also have a very quick mind and so that rate at which your thoughts are coming and the rate at which you express yourself do not balance hence it comes out as stammering. As I say I am no expert, but you need to observe yourself quietly and gently and make a note of the times when you find yourself stammering and reflect deeply on what caused it or why you did.

No matter what you find out, you can overcome this. Pray to the Lord to help you. And also try talking slowly so that you do not stammer. It does not matter how long you take to make the sentence, but concentrate on talking as slowly as possible without stammering. Then try to do this as a main goal. Eventually you want to aim to being a very slow talker until you are no longer stammering. This should take you at least 6 months - 1 year of active concentration. Practice , Practice Practice. And with quiet confidence for each successful step taken, you will be able to take another one. You are building a house here and each building block needs to stand or sit firmly before the next one is used. Good Luck.

Do we still have any good primary schools left in Nigeria where there is still good discipline and strong moral codes.
Where children are taught properly and you can see this in how happy they are. Where there is a good average syllabus
and a good caring environment and children are also taught good manners and respect.

I know as a parent there is a lot to do for the children ourselves, but the addition of a good school also helps.

I am not looking for a school based on money alone.

I am looking for a list of such schools, so if you know any current ones, please let me know.
