Greetings my @hivenaija people, ok today I come with a beautiful topic for us to deliberate on.
How wrong parenting has bring more harm than good in the society.
We live in the world today where most parents feel civilisation means their child having access to some things when it's not due time.
I will like you to agree with me that out of hundred percent harm caused in the society today, some are as a result of poor parenting.
It is believed that the home is the first place of socialisation. And when a child fails from this moment, there's a tendency that that child will not succeed in the world.
Most things that happens today, some children doing things they're are not supposed to do, is as results that the parents failed to take their parenting seriously.
Just like some parents because of their work schedule rarely even have time for their children, they leave them in the hand of a total stranger called nanny. This is a serious risk, because you barely know how this nanny was raised and as such you're leaving your child for them.
Most parents now send their children abroad,to study without implementing the things they were supposed to as at when that child was little. Whatever you want your child to become, just between the age of 1-8 years, try showing them everything wrong and bad. Don't let them learn from strangers.
I remember in the school where I teach, a parents after PTA meeting came to ask me to tell him about his child's character. And I did, she was shocked she had never noticed that .
We, as teachers we are doing our part but as a parent you have to know your child even more than any one else.
An incident occur some time ago in my school where a child in primary two wrote a love letter to her fellow classmates.
And by God's grace, I was able to see it.
Because sometimes I try my best not to relates with this children their teacher but as their mother so I try to notice everything.
I was shocked when I saw the letter, like, she didn't just write a random letter she made sure it was well arranged. That situation posed me speechless for quite sometime.. and I asked where she learnt it from. She kept mute.
After I disciplined her, I sat her down and we discussed. I got to find out that she watch it from a movies and she decided to practice it.
I got to find out that her dad will leave this movie for her to watch, without knowing the contents and he has never noticed the implication of that single acts of mistake.
What am I trying to say, in conclusion is that as parents let's not use the idea of civilised world to spoil our children. Let's bring them up in the way they should go. And not leave them in the hands of strangers called caretakers.
No matter how busy our schedule will be let's balance it up.
