FamilyRe: Child Discipline According To Age Group by mardis(op): 1:04pm On Aug 06, 2021
Pinkzebra:
Dear op, I know you meant well, but your observation isn't totally correct. Children between ages 0-7 are not in the same category, neither is children between ages 7-14.
As wrongly assumed , you start laying the foundation for positive behavior from age zero and yes, is fine to scold a two year old and upwards. At this age, this children already understand emotions such as being happy �, sad � . Don't you see this emotions in them ?
Only that I ask parents to scold and use the right words. Condemn the behavior, not the person.
You're right, i am not saying you can't scold them that is 0-7 years, but it should be in a jovial mode with soft tone.

I wouldn't put children aged 0-7 in the same category. A 1-year-old and a 7-year-old are totally different. I would not even compare a 1-year-old to a 2-year-old kiddo. They change very much and very fast in this age range.
It is not comparing, i am just putting them them in groups. You treat them as babies, they need more of play and fun

The parent is expected not to use cane, spank, shout or scold sternly

You're wrong, very wrong! If you don't train your child at this age, you have lost it.
I already said it will be difficult for African parents to abide by the first stage.
FamilyChild Discipline According To Age Group by mardis(op):
Children discipline classified into age group. I will call it group 7s



Age 0 - 7 : This stage is mostly the playing stage. Children within this age range, are mostly referred to as babies. This is because, the child is still trying to explore and get familiar with things they find around them. The parent is expected not to use cane, spank, shout or scold sternly. The parent is expected to play and have fun with them, help them to explore things and also guide them through their curiosity. It is very hard though especially for African parents.



Age 7 - 14 : This stage is the pre adolescent stage, when the kids are mostly developmental. This stage is very important so the parent have to be very obsevant. Here the child displays most of his/her characters ,traits, skills or talents. Children within this age group can easily be influenced negatively or positively. Also in this stage peer pressure can easily comes in. The parents at this juncture can spank, use cane or apply physical punishment where necessary to maintain disciplinary measures.



Age 14 - 21 : The adolescent to adulthood stage, here the child can make decisions for themselves, can as well take responsibility for their actions. All the need from the parent is mostly lots of advice and guidance through life. The parent should not in anyway use beating as a mode of instilling discipline to children within this age group because instead of making that child you will only mar. The parent or guidan, should do more of counselling, one on one talk, appropriate correction and lots and lots of advice as i said earlier.



Well, this is my observation which i decided to put into writing. It open to opinions and comments.

How rat take pass tru that tiny entrance for goodness sake? all this rats be acting like possed little witches and wizards.
The one that baffled me was during my undergraduate days, i kept some documents, those admission papers, in between my two mattress, like i joined two mattress those six spring mattress together, on my bed. Only for me to come one day for the documents and saw some part of it shredded by rats. How rat got there is still a misery to me.

RomanceRe: Would You Return Borrowed Money To A Cheating Girlfriend by mardis: 10:05pm On Aug 03, 2021
justine94:
i would pay back..but I want you to think on the side could it be she's begging you back because of the money you owe her..how can you place on your finger on it that she's been real about apologising
Fake apologises or not, it doesn't matter to you. If this your said girlfriend loves you, she wouldn't cheat. That is it. And besides why are you scared if she leaves you after paying her back her money? Like say she is the last girl on earth. Please man up and don't allow yourself to be ridiculed by any girl. What is yours will definitely not pass you by.
RomanceRe: Would You Return Borrowed Money To A Cheating Girlfriend by mardis: 1:55pm On Aug 03, 2021
justine94:
do you think that would work out
Mine own is that your payment of the money she borrowed you has nothing to do with her cheating on you. Keep relationship aside and pay her. So if you borrow money from someone else won't you pay?
RomanceRe: Would You Return Borrowed Money To A Cheating Girlfriend by mardis: 8:02am On Aug 03, 2021
justine94:
my concern is she begging after cheating..would you on second thought be able to find out she's really begging you because she wants you back or because of the money
The payment of the money she borrowed you has nothing to do with her cheating on you. If you want to confirm, pay her first and see

So sad, All this bloggers will always cook up story before the actual story.
RomanceRe: Would You Return Borrowed Money To A Cheating Girlfriend by mardis: 5:01pm On Aug 02, 2021
What does her cheating on you has to do with the money she borrowed you hun? Is there any agreement that once a party cheat he or she has to pay some certain amount of money? Even if she is your wife sef, you'll still pay. What more of just bf and gf something.

Please pay her back her money and stop looking for a way to not pay.

How does taking sniper happen by accident? When they're not toddlers or they both lost their sense of taste or probably the love on this earth is not sweeting them so they decided to upgrade to heaven. Well, the dead can't speak. I just pity their family and what they're going through

If your mum and wife are peaceful people and very tolerant, then i see no reason why you can't. When you have a loving and peaceful mother-in-law then, believe me that your marriage or marital life is settled and would be a bliss.

FamilyRe: 4 Reasons Why Some African Parents Consider The Girl Child As A Liability by mardis: 1:07pm On Aug 01, 2021
Gone were those days when this perception was held among ignorant set of people. Nowadays you see alot of women making waves both within and overseas. Making their parent and loved ones proud.
One should be careful what he/she pray for in life. I want male, i want male, God knows female would have been blessing to you, but no you fasted and prayed, when to different mountain yop until God leave you to your fate and you eventually gave birth to a male child. Later he becomes a pain in your arss, committing terrible crimes, not giving you any rest of mind, then you turn back to God again for help, will He even listen to you, knowing fully well you're the architect of your problems.
