Due to the recent happenings that have occurred lately as regards children's engagement in engaging in unspeakable actions, I will like to pen down my thought about the recent chrisland student story.
I have read through some comments and watched some videos online where people comfortably blame the parent for failing to raise her daughter the proper way. I have no problem with this subjective thought but have you stopped to take about what exactly choice, exposure, and growth are? I will speak on this vehemently and I will like you to have an open mind as you read through it.
I'm not a mother yet but I have watched my mother raise my little brother and I see how she gets scared that he doesn't turn out to be something else when he finally leaves the house.
One thing about raising a child in a society like ours comes with a whole lot of patience and in-depth supervision from parents, especially from the mothers. So, when a child doesn't turn out well, the blame is totally on the mother and the father is left out of it.
Now, this is what I think, when a parent takes time to train her kids, you are licensed to impart good or bad moral in the kids but bear in mind that as he or she grows up she has choices to make as to either abide by those morals or get influence by friends. This is where choice comes to play.
Choices are what will shape a child over time. If your kids choose to take from what you taught them to go through life, be great provided they are good morals.
A child deciding what to do has nothing to do with if the mother trained the child well or not. The thing you should note is that we will always keep taking decisions to win life. This should make us very conscious of the decision we make especially when it is to do with impulse.
Conclusively, growth is one thing that will happen to a man whether deliberately or not.
I come in peace.
Let me know what you think about this in the comment section.
