This is very unhealthy and could pose a safety hazard.

FamilyRe: I'm Worried About My Son's Behaviour. Is He Normal? by TomiSwag(m): 7:39am On Aug 21, 2019
jess2019:
My son will be 9 in October but his behaviour bothers me so much. He acts like a day dreamer. He has turned me into a shouting and miserable mum as I had to beat him after I've exhausted other punishment options. To make this short, I'm going to summarise his behaviour.

He still cannot get himself ready for school in the morning. Either he doesnt cream his body or forgets to comb his hair or doesnt brush his teeth. He forgets to brush his teeth almost everyday. This made me to make a list of step by step sticker. I sticked this on their bathroom mirror and on his bedroom wall. Yet I have to keep reminding him everyday. For example, last week on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday he forgot to brush his teeth and hair. I have to constantly be reminding him every morning. He is the only one that brushes teeth after getting ready. I trained them to brush teeth first before shower but he keeps forgetting.

I have to remind him to do his homework, and put it back in his school bag to return to school on Mondays. The book will still not make it to the school even after constant reminder. We've lost countless of lunch bags. One ended up on school roof. If you give him any form to submit back to his teacher. He will forget in his bag so I now give it to his sister to give to his teacher.

He removes his clothes, shoes, pants, belts etc and leave them on the floor, I bought two laundry baskets for him. One in his room, another in their bathroom, yet all his belongings end up on the floor that you can hardly find a space to put a foot. I dont expect him to be perfect but atleast to try so that his 70% clothes make it to the basket or shoes to their racks. He also has a book shelf and desk yet they also end up on the floor.

He plays so much that sometimes he leaves shops with items in his hands. So I have to always watch out for him. Living in a western country where black boys are stereotyped I fear for him. He can stare at the ceiling for hrs when getting ready for school or spend long time in the shower yet not using soap on his body. This usually makes us late unless I step in to help or keep shouting.

If you ask him to do any house chores, he will not do it instead waiting for us to forget so he can get away with it. When grounded not to watch TV, he will still do it once he knows am inside my room or busy with a baby.

Yesterday we revised all his lesson assignments (5 work books). I specifically asked him to put them in his lesson bag. I pointed at the bag. Now I drop him at the lesson only for him to say oh I think I came with old lesson books. I dont know how he ended up with old books in his bag. It could be he planned it as a way to avoid the lesson. If not I wonder how he will remember it himself as soon as I drop him and his sister as this is unlike him.

I've taken him to a doctor incase there is any diagnosis so I can give him all the help he needs but they said it's just his behaviour because according to the doctor he is smart academically. He is 18months ahead of his year level. So they ruled ADHD out.
Hi, Good Morning.
Please take it easy....he's not even 9yrs old yet.
You're complaining like he's 19 yrs old!

1. Pray or should I say keep praying( coz every parent MUST pray for their kids)
2. Use rewards to encourage him to carry out any task or house chore you want him to accomplish.
3. You mentioned that he is academically sound. So introduce more nonacademic activities: creative arts, performing arts, Saturday sports, musical instruments ( forget about afterschool lessons esp on Fri, Sat & Sundays).
4. Carry out house chored and tasks with him.( not as a monitoring spirit) He should also perform house chores, school assignments with his other siblings (not individually).
5. Give the little kid a breather. He's not even 9!
Let him enjoy his childhood to the fullest coz in 9 yes time he'll be an adult with all the responsibilities of 'His' world on his shoulders.
6. The same as No 1. Keep praying for him and keep being his loving parent.

God bless.

Leave that yeye boy, I wrote jamb 7times in total. I got admission to study biochemistry in futminna 2015,that same year i opted for NDA and got the admission but was later withdrawn 2weeks into the training for high bp(according to them) I couldn't return to futminna becos i already had a poor gp because I missed some test and xams to go for the military screening.

2016,2017, I wrote jamb but nothing came up. I got admission to study electrical electronics engineering in 2018 and I'm currently in 100l in a federal university
You have a strong spirit smiley

CrimeRe: JAMB: Segun Referred To State Hospital In Ogun After Suicide Attempt by TomiSwag(m): 2:48pm On May 13, 2019
Why?

Parents please instil in your kids the spirit of self-esteem... How old is he that suicide is the only way out?
I had to write JAMB 5 times, WAEC 3 times & post-UME 3 times...before I eventually got admitted into UNI at age 24yrs!!!!.
Graduated at 27 yrs. By the grace of God I have a stable Job.
It took me 7yrs to get into UNI after finishing Secondary school.

My parents kept encouraging me to try harder...never for once did they criticise or condemn or compare me to anyone else.

Parents please do your part!!!!!

We're all having a healthy discussion here, Even the person I quoted didn't take it personal.
You didn't have to say that.

the fact that your commenting on this topic means you're a mature man/woman, you're definitely above 25yrs old or probably married & even with kids

I was expecting a mature character display from you. who knows we might even know each other.

Movie Title: The Greatest Showman

[img]https://miamasitoh.files./2018/02/tgm.jpg?w=700[/img]

Year: 2017

Cast: Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Michelle Williams, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson

Genre: Musical, Drama

Industry: Hollywood

Time: 1h 44 min

Plot:
This movie tells the story of PT Barnum, the man who started the circus. It tells how PT Barnum, went from a poor, tailor's son to the owner of a circus; his trials and how he overcame them.


Review:

The Sound of Music has been hailed as an iconic musical and the best of the 20th century, well, The Greatest Showman is the greatest musical of this century so far and I might even add, better than TSM. Not only was EVERY song from this movie a hit, everything from the choreography, to the storyline and the acting was perfect.
The story is set in New York, in the early 20th century, we see how Barnum (Jackman) first met his love, Charity (Williams), as a child, he shows her a life he sees for their future, despite how poor he is at the time and how rich her family is. His father's death leaves him wandering the streets, however, he eventually grows older and seeks her hand in marriage. Her father grudgingly accepts and he takes her away, but Barnum isn't the rich man he thinks his wife deserves. Eventually, he comes up with the idea of gathering 'misfits' to form a show which people pay for. He enlists the help of rich kid, Phillip Carlyle (Efron) to help in hosting the shows. Phillip introduces him to Jenny Lind (Ferguson) an opera singer, who distracts him from his circus and nearly destroys his career and marriage
There are so many lessons to learn in this movie, whether it's the lesson of believing in each other, of seeing someone more for what they can add to your life, rather than what they look like, of never forgetting your roots, or of never paying attention to people's opinions, the lessons are inexhaustible. And each song tells a lesson, each song speaks to someone.
Watching the movie, can lift anyone's spirits. No matter how low you feel, The Greatest Showman will surely make you feel better.
This is another movie that was so good, there was hardly a fault. The one fault I did notice however, was a scene where he hopped on a train, the graphics were so poor, I could tell it was fake. However, it had little or no impact on the core of the movie.
Like I have told the over twenty people I have recommended the movie to, The Greatest Showman is the greatest musical you will see in a long time.

Rating: 9/10

Play/Trowey: Play a Gazillion times
Annoyingly, this movie didn't win a lot of awards.
I honestly don't know what criteria is used for nomination, but I believe viewers opinion is not counted when awarding movies.

its a shame none of the songs won at the golden globes & Oscars for that year.

best musical, best original score, best sound track.

nothing at all!

Well in my opinion this movie is a 9/10.
Christianity EtcRe: 10 Reasons Why Winners Chapel Is 'Dangerously' Wealthy by TomiSwag(m): 5:15pm On Dec 30, 2018
HigherEd:
How do you know a greater number of his members are poor? How many of the 6,000 branches of living faith have you visited to make this assertion. You must have visited at least 600 to make such an assertion. Right?

Yes of course, there is no gathering of people without the poor, even wealthy nations still have poor people. So definitely living faith must have some poor folks. But my ish with ur comment is you referring to the majority as poor.

Moreover, if Winners collects the same type of collections as other churches then the sensible explanation for the unique wealth of the church could be that they have more prosperous members.
The scripture you quoted in the photo is out of context.

So you see Churches are doing fairly great on the development side of things. Most of them just have PR issues.[/quote]The Church doesn't need to brag about her achievements to the world. whether you do good or bad the 'world' will always criticize and condemn. We don't please the world we please God. as much as it hurts to see people talk words of blasphemy against Jesus, we can only pray for the hearts to change to God.

well if Paul could change, be forgiven by Jesus and become one of the main movers of the Gospel worldwide, I don't think anyone else is too hard to change.

So we'll keep praying for them...
