How Can A Parent Tame A Delinquent Child? by ggirl4real: 9:09pm On Dec 20, 2015
There's this my neighbour's son that's stubborn.

What bothers me more is the way he talks to his mum. He's about 16years old and in SS3 but I tell you, when he's angry, he'll shout his mum down no matter what she says to him.

He once said to the mum "if you dare touch me with that cane, I'll collect it and beat you", the mum had to seek for help from a neighbour.

Before now, the father could tame him but it seems that he has outgrown his father's control too...

He just made pronoucements like "God punish you" (Abasi umia ufen) to his younger sister who is barely 5years old. When his father scolded him, he shouted back at his father in a very violent manner and they're still exchanging words right now. I'm personally afraid from my compound...

I had to tell my sister that if this boy is not tamed, in the next two years, he'll beat everyone in that house...

Please, what could have caused this attitude? and what can be done to put this nasty behaviour on check before it gets out of hand? I'm personally afraid for his parents.

That's crazy.

Give him an ultimatum. If he can't respect the people who provide him with food and shelter. He should make his own way.

That's rude AF.

The funny thing is that the parents provide everything he needs even when it's not convenient for them.

They'll not love to leave him on his own.

Another thing I observe is that the parents didn't use cane on him while he was small, could that contribute to this attitude?

Mehn! This one is serious. But violent approach from parents doesn't solve this kind of issue often times. It's just an adolescent stage, the stage will soon pass.

I'm not a promoter of beating your kids.

That is ridiculous. If he wants to act like he's all big and tough then they should treat him like so. It'll slap him back to reality without them doing anything. They should deny him if everything they provide him. Food water shelter school. I don't even care. You never disrespect your parents.

Even when your own child is threatening you?

Don't you think his parents should arrange boys to teach him a lesson?

Anyway, his parents love him so much that they wouldn't consider that.

I don't know why I feel that he's joined some bad boys in school because at home, their parents lock them inside when they are leaving for work.

how convenient. Like he'll leave that easily. Someone that doesn't have respect For his parents and siblings

Abeg he should be sent to a juvenile camp where he won't get the luxuries and attention of his parents. No one will tell him before he behaves himself and call himself back to order

That's actually so disgusting.

They should literally deprive him of everything till he learns some respect. And learns to appreciate.

Believe me it doesn't work most times. Children like that become more stubborn if violent approach is used on them.

Mhm no I don't think you should push your child to the point of no return. He will return damaged. That's how serial killers are made...

I agree with your stance. That's why I think you should deprive him of everything.

That's serious... I see this boy growing so wild in the nearest future... I'm told his dad too is very aggressive when angry. Maybe it runs in the blood.

he is obviously already going haywire and there's still time of repair. IF you say juvenile camps are too extreme what other options are available. Abi is it until he attempts to strangulate his mother to death before they know that there's fire on the mountain

That's a small case.

What were the parents looking at before now
He didn't just start this yesterday
How did they bring him up?
Imagine the effrontery . . the kid threatening to beat up his mother.

It may be too late to get this boy back on the right line. at 16 he is almost an adult and if he offends, he will be treated like an adult.

The problem with kids like this is that the whole community suffers. soon he will be out there being a nuisance to everyone.

The parents are to be blamed period! Am a 100% sure that they spared the rod when he was much younger and when he started exhibiting those traits now they have spoilt the child.
