The Necessary upbringing to replicate in my children.

Hi Everyone in the #HiveNaijacommunity. Hope we're doing great.

Following this week's weekly prompt, the topics are so interesting and educational. So I will be sharing on "That part of upbringing I will replicate in my children".

These era a lot of parent have stopped bringing up their children in the proper way in the name of Loving their children and do not want them to go through stress and pains. Proper upbringing does not mean you do not love your child but bringing that child up properly signifies you love the child and you are preparing the child up to be a better and a responsible person growing up. I have come across a lot of attitudes from Teens and youth and I will be asking myself how these ones were trained. Because when I tend to see the way they act and the way I act , I always tell my mum Thank you for the upbringing you gave me as a child.

Respect is one of the morals my parents inculcated into me while raising me up and I Will Love to replicate the same to my children. Nowadays you will see a small child disrespecting their parents, their elders and even older siblings.Waking up without greeting the parent or even siblings but you will be shocked hearing the person greet other people he sees outside. I was taught as a child in the morning when you wake up, you greet everyone in the house first even before proceeding to greeting people outside but today let that child just grow up to probably your height then he or she tries to measure up with you. I was taught as a child how to wash my parents or guide clothes just to show appreciation and to show respect. In today's world a lot of children have taken their parents provision as a right and not as a privilege so they tend not to do anything to help their parents in order to show appreciation for the things they do for them. My mum will always say try to do things to assist or show appreciation for someone that is taking care of you and that will make the person do more for you. I grew up with that and when I had the opportunity of staying with my elder cousin she was really appreciative of the kind of upbringing my parents gave me. As a child in the home it is not right to even touch the pot of food at home because some of us might deal with the food in a way that is not pleasing. Instead we wait for the right person to come give you your portion or until you're given an approval to. But I have been in a house where I see children playing with their mothers pot and the mum was like that's how they do, they don't have respect and I am like how will they when she gives them the privilege. As a child you dare not eat what was given to you by a visitor or even outside without your parents' consent. This was one part of upbringing that we went through as children. One of the days in church i got few biscuit for myself so i gave to the child seated besides me with the mum i was expecting the mum to use her eye to communicate with the child not to get it as that was how my mum or Dad used to communicate with us and if you fail to understand it then wait for what happens next or the mum should have been the one to get it from me to the child but shockingly to me she told the child someone is giving you something instead of you getting it you are looking at me.

So these are the few part of upbringing that i so much loved and will love to replicate in my children it really help me growing up and has made me stand out differently and more disciplined.

One part of upbringing i will never want to replicate in my children is disgracing and embarassing them in public. It makes a child looses confidence in his or herself. My mum used to do it alot. If you do something wrong instead of scolding you in the house she will make sure she embarasses you publicly. This is one part of upbringing i never loved and will not replicate in my children.
