It's obvious you didn't get the part if exposure
At five years, there are toys that makes children Crack their brain

When they go to parks or gardens and see their mates they interact well and learn ftom each other

When they go on vacation to families that have children of their age groups, the parents of the families gives them all tasks and challenges that makes a quiet child to pick up

Let him mix up that's the summary while you still seat him down to counsel him steady
Op never said his child is dull or not brilliant!
What op is insinuating is his son is too gentle, too cool & not rude or stubborn! That got nothing to do with intelligence. You will agree most intelligent students are gentle & calm. My point is the timidity of any child below 10 years should not be questioned! Many of u when u were that age had no sense!

But do you agree that a gentle child, when mix up with children during play times learns to be active and fight for himself, is part exposure

That doesn't apply here!
The boy is too young for op to start complaining about timidity or leniency! Haba! Can u remember when u were 5 years?? Op should allow him grow freely, when he is at least 15, then he can start talking about the child personality. Any child below age 10 physical attributes & personality cannot be determined. U can't even determine if a kid will be brilliant at 5 yrs! What op is about doing is nothing but child abuse! He should allow that kid to grow freely until he is 15.
2pac was raised by his mom & was said to be very gentle growing up, but he ended up as one of the most notorious thug rapper the world has ever known. 5 yrs is too young for this!

Help family. I have a child, a 5 year old boy who grew up with his mum. We were much younger when we had the child.

Until recently, she brought my child to me, she traveled to Ghana and married. I don't have a problem with that tho. My problem is with my son. He is too gentlemanly for my like. I don't even know if gentlemanly is the right term.

Dude is too timid for my liking. He looks exactly like me and all that but his behaviors are just not what I was when I was his age. He is too timid, kind and lenient. Please what could I do to toughen him up apart of beating. I need a my child. Imagine one small boy was dragging the biscuit I bought for him and he still have the boy and still give him water. It was the strangest thing I have seen in a while. Where the hell did he get that leniency and kindness from? I was never like this
you mean you are wicked and evil? Lol. Leave the poor boy, he has a good heart and will go places

No it's not like I am wicked or evil but he is too soft..too soft.. just too soft and kind... There are some things you should know, if he grows up with a soft nature In a country like Nigeria, he won't be happy with most encounters he'll have.

At the end I will be blamed for raising him in that way. I am just concerned about his survival but I honestly wish to live Nigeria one day. But till then, I have to make him harder

leave him alone. Environment would harden him.

I think you guys are not getting it, he said the boy is timid. This is the best time to address it because it becomes a part of him. I know what I have talking about, you don't want a timid son and your son when grown don't want to be timid!
Wo nah their problem be that oo grin

Send him to a boarding school... He should learn how his mates behave.

And again don't allow him watch cartoons, I recommend action movies (war).

Whatever you want to mould into a child, 15yrs is too late to start.

He is fine, just teach him to be assertive, so he can decide for himself.

The biscuit example: ask him if he gave the biscuit + water because he thought the child needed it/just wanted to give him or because he was afraid of the repercussions if he did not give the child. That would guide you better.

Some people are kind and lenient because that's what makes them have peace. However, they are assertive enough to put their feet down when they feel taken advantage of or the recipients of their good deeds no longer appreciate it. They don't depend on the approval of others to do the right thing.

What is now the work of the parents if they are waiting for the environment to harden him?

What if the father wants him hard 30% and the environment decides to harden him 7% or 70%?

Welcome to the 21st century where kindness is punished by parents with beatings. undecided


First of all, your son doesn't have to be like you.

Secondly, you can talk to your boy and explain to him that other kids do not have the right to take what is his and suggest that he reports to you when this happens so that you can handle it for him. He saw nothing wrong with the other kid taking his biscuit. Children do not see all situations the way we see them. He is five and it's your responsibility to protect him. He still has plenty of time to learn how to stand up for himself. Lead by example.

Third, if you start beating a shy child you will destroy any little confidence he has in him. He needs encouragement, not beatings. And being shy is not a crime. One of my best friends was shy until he was 19/20. He is one of the most confident people I know today. Your child's personality is not set in stone. He will change many times until his personality fully forms. If you want to help him, love and encourage him. It's bad enough his mother just left him back.

Re: My Son Is Too Shy by eyinjuege: 11:41am On Jul 04, 2021
The child's mother raised a polite empathic child, but you want to turn him to one of the dysfunctional agberos raised in Nigeria.
Is it wrong for a child to be raised to be kind?
It doesn't mean he is stupid
Please try and learn some decency, compassion, kindness and integrity yourself, as they seem like strange concepts to you
Those are the things we should bequeath to our children.
