malikombi:you maybe right. but the same way we have stubborn children, that's the same way we also have "wicked" (in your own words) househelp but that doesn't call for generalization. Treat her right and let her conscience judge her |
BuscadoCEO:if you have had qualification upto first degree, you should be able to know that some terms are defined by the author or researcher and not based on any ones definition. I knew this argument will come up thus I took time to give my own definition of househelp and possible alternative reasons people take in househelp can you do me a favour please by reading the article. |
Furiosa:Definitely, it is two sweet girls that are in the post |
propzncribz:The answer to your question is capital YES. only if you can take your time and read the article. for the fact that you are asking has driven home my point that you can actually treat your house help right that people cannot differentiate between him/her and your children. Check my own definition of househelp and the reasons people take in househelps. That girl's parents have too many children than they can cater for thus my sister has to come in to assist. |

Enroll her in the same school with your children: The best thing you can do for your house-help is to enroll her in the same school with your biological children, be it private or government school. There is a saying that what is good for the goose is also good for the gander. The first step in maltreating housemaids is sending them in a school different from the school of the master/mistress. If truly you want to show compassion to your maid, start with this. 2. Get good clothes for him/her: Let no one differentiate between your children and your house-help by mere looking at their dresses. While shopping for clothes, shop for your housemaid too. He/she needs to look good. 3. Provide good shelter for her: Shelter does not only mean living in your house, making sure he/she sleeps on a good foam, sleeps under mosquito net, and in a well-ventilated room is also part of providing shelter for her. Some house-helps are given rooms in a place that can only be reserved for animals and yet the mistress feels she has done nothing wrong to the child. 4. Give her good food: The food you eat should be the food he/she eats. Some people are good at feeding their house-help with soured and left -over food. Some madams go as far as ensuring that the children of the family eat first before the house-help to hedge against food wastage by turning the house-help to dog. Please Ma/Sir; give her warm food just like your children! 5. Play with her sometimes: If you want to know how wicked some people are, go to their house and watch how they treat their house-help. The same way you play with your children, also play with your house-help sometimes to make her feel human too. It is not every time that you have to shout at your house assistance to drive home the point that you are the boss and she the sub-ordinate. Every human sometimes in life have the need to feel belonged. 6. Let her get close to her family: The truth is when you treat your house-help right, there is no need to be scared of taking her to her family house. The major reason people fear to take their maid to their family house is because of maltreatment. They are afraid that they maid may not be ready to follow them back to their house should they set their foot in their family house. The truth is if the maid looks well taking care of, the parents will encourage her to follow you back even if she decides not to follow you as a result of being a child. 7. Let your children respect her self-worth: have you ever been to a house and see a seven year old child calling a grown-up housemaid by her name and talking to her as if they are mates? The parents encouraged that. Teach your children how to respect your house-help. The respect accorded to them by your children can also extend to you because children who talk to their maid anyhow might one day talk to you the parents the same manner. 8. Put yourself in her shoe sometimes: As a human, we do forget things, fall sick, get tired etc. so why beat your domestic assistance up because he/she forgot one or two chores you assigned her? When he said that he is tired, can you try and understand for once? When she said that she is feeling sick, get her some drugs and allow her to take some rest. All these things may seem trivial but are very crucial in dealing with other people’s children. 9. Show her love: One would wonder whether all that have been written above is not love. This point come to show you that they content in this write-up is not exhaustive. Just apply the golden rule principle in your dealing with your house assistance. Do anything that keep him/her happy while protecting your interest and that of your family. I know this article is prone to criticism that house-helps should be avoided in totality as people see it as a child abuse but before you criticize, not the following points: - This article is focused on house-helps and not nannies. Therefore it is assumed that the people who are regarded as house-helps here are children who are mostly below the age of eighteen. - The reason for taking a house-help is not necessary because the person taking in the maid needs domestic assistance, but sometimes, it could be to help the child either due to large family size, poor family background, and divorce of parents or in worst case, the death of either or both parents. As you can see, some cases actually warrant taking in a maid or a foster daughter as many refer to it. You may not necessary call her maid but in as much as she/he is not your biological child but is living in the same room with you then everything written here is applicable to you. Below are the pictures of my sister with her little daughter and her foster daughter |

A dirge sonnet The mundane life I envisage! When shall I wake and look up to the sky And have great confidence That the whole world is there for me? The life of travail and toil! Can I get a tranquil place here on earth Where no one will contend with me Neither will I have no discord with nobody? Man now lives without hope! Is it tenable in this mundane sphere That I can get more for less And not give more to get less? Where success is not truncated with failure! When lemonade is not hidden inside lemon. source: http://sagaciousguru..com.ng/2016/07/a-dirge-sonnet-about-vitality.html?m=1 |

how to read and understand for all Nigeria students http://sagaciousguru..com.ng/2016/06/10-crucial-techniques-to-read-and.html?m=1 |
10 crucial techniques to read and understand How to read and concentrate 1. Avoid looking around: The best way to read and avoid distraction is to avoid looking around at everything that passes around or disturbs your attention when you are reading. Looking around while reading does not only distract your attention but also lengthen your reading time also as you are most likely to read the same line several times when you return your attention back to your book. 2. Switch off your mobile phone: always having your mobile phone with you is advisable because of emergency or when your attention is needed urgently but that can actually be a source of distraction to you. Imagine your phone ringing at intervals while reading and the disturbance that it causes including what you might hear from the caller which may put you in an emotional imbalance. Therefore in other to avoid unnecessary distractions, avoid going to read with your mobile phone or switch it off. 3. Put off your mobile Data: This point may seem to have a correlation with the one above. In extreme cases that reading with your mobile phone is inevitable due to some cogent reasons, then it is better you switch off the mobile data to prevent the distractions that come with notifications from social media sources like Facebook, WhatsApp, BBM etc. 4. Select your reading mate(s) wisely: The people that gather to read with you can sometimes be a source of distraction to you. If you go to read with people who are intellectually lazy and who likes to talk a lot and play away their time then, you are on a failed mission of getting focused on your studies. Select those who read with you judiciously if you intend to get what you desire from your study time. 5. Read several books within a reading period: There is a popular saying that monopoly kills interest. Reading a particular book for a long period of time can be boring and tiring. To maintain focus and attention, you can get different books to read with you so that you can switch to another book when you get bored of reading the other. 6. Try to recall: reading for pleasure and for examination is not the same thing. You have to stress your brain the more when you are reading to understand and memorize. Trying to remember what you recently read by closing your book and saying them to yourself will go a long way in ensuring that you have your focus and attention to your book. 7. Rest when you are tired: Reading is a work and therefore you are bound to get tired. When you continue reading after you are tired, you are"dis-memorising" what you have read earlier and this could render all that you have read earlier useless. Try to rest when you get tired of reading and possibly continue when you regained the energy to read again. 8. Eat when you get tired and hungry: Reading when you are hungry will not only prevent you from understanding what you are reading, it also poses health challenge to you as your brain is being strained. 9. Writing while reading: To some persons this may be a time waster but it is really a pretty way to memorize easily. Writing while reading may be an option for theoretical notes but is compulsory for calculation exercises and exercises that require graphs. 10. When you are totally exhausted, take a nap: Sleep may be the last option to reinvigorate yourself. Sleep enables your brain to rest from the work of assimilating and digestion of the academic content in which it has been subjected to. source: http://sagaciousguru..com.ng/2016/06/10-crucial-techniques-to-read-and.html?m=1 |
