Children have proven themselves to be the fastest set of learners ever,
even when they are evidently groping with the language, naturally underaged, very inquisitive and free
for all information, their ability to learn is simply magnetic. But what is
expected of a brain under construction? A relatively empty one at that; It is
only natural that as children grow, they
fill up the brain with every iota of information available to their five human senses.
To see, hear, taste, feel and smell.
They get very involved.
This moment in my opinion is the most crucial part of life. The formative
stage. This is the time they ask questions, make endless enquiries and even
proceed to trying out the information they have. Children are Doers.
It appears
some adults handle this aspect of the child's life with some overbearing adult
sense...so, its not uncommon to find children do everything adults do, they are
dressed like adults, they dance like adults, they want to do even more of adult
things than children experiences.
Dear bondedhomer, this thought
line emanated from a mail i got from a lady, "my four year old daughter
wants to wear explicit dresses, boots, skimpies and It burders me so much. I am
trying as a parent but i dont know where the problem is from, what am i doing
wrong? Because if she continues like this, i will kill her with my own hands,
please can you put this on your blog so i can hear what people would advice ?
She is just four, and for sure i feel she is a baby, please what age should i
start going firm with her"
You may also want to watch this disturbing video I got somewhere.
Please give your candid advice as usual.
1. At what age should she start instilling discipline
2. Is there anything wrong with the child ?
The floor is now open
The dance is exciting but it was suppricing that a child of that age could make such a move. It she is sharp in picking good stuff about life, good. Is left for the parent to limit her from much adult stuff they involve her before is too late.
ReplyDeleteThis came as a surprise to me. how can adults encourage this? the are sending the child out of childhood even before she begins. i really pity her parents.
ReplyDeletei dont have words i am in a shock
ReplyDeletewhat is the shock for? the child is talented. The parent should just pray that she is smart to education like this too
ReplyDeletetrain up a child in the way of the lord and he shall not depart from it.
ReplyDeleteTalent!
ReplyDeleteA lot has changed these days, most parents are either away or away...they lv their children to maids, cozins and what have you. Children are left to gather information and imbibe all kinds of "talents" from every and anywhere. Don't be shocked that the mother of the dancing kid may not be there at that party where her daughter rocked centre stage. Bondedhome, nice one.
ReplyDeleteThis one na Azonto Micheal Jackson
ReplyDeleteTake it or not, this child is enroute disaster
ReplyDelete@Madam questionaire, your responsibilty either firmness or not to your child is from birth to death. Your question perhaps shld be how firm should you be? My ans is as firm as the child requires. As for your daughter wanting adult things, I blame it all on you. Except u want to tell lies to yourself. You must have orchestrated it all either by error or wtva. You better tame her now, watch her closely from minute to minute till you may be able to find out what the problem is. Truth be told, you are not doing a good job. No offences
ReplyDeleteChildren are very fast learners. No doubt, pls watch what you do around them. This one dampen me mehn
ReplyDeleteYou will kill her with your hands abi? Go ahead, after all na u make her like that. Kill her. But seriously, the child is reflecting you. She wants to be you. So you really have to make her identify the differences between an adult and a kiddo
ReplyDeleteWhat age? You are very funny. Would the child stop being yours at a particular age?
ReplyDeleteDont worry bondedhome, this one no get mama. or else where was she when the child started going wild?
ReplyDeleteWonders shall never end, how will a paedophile not approach this one? please abeg o
ReplyDeleteMy friend, stop decieving yourself, youare the architect of your childs behaviour
ReplyDeleteThe only wrong thing with your child is that she has a wrong mother. you are not doing a great job
ReplyDeleteRasing sa child is not one mans thing. both parents should contribute t o the upbringing of the child, imost men have left this duty to their wives alone making the sons feminised and the daugthers without a sense of male presence
ReplyDeleteit is not posible that a child would just start behaving like an audlt or be liking adult stuff if she is actively involved in children things. truly there are cases where some children would sound really great like adults but in some too, the over beairng adult influence is caused by inexperienced elderly ones. look around, she may be recieving some abiuses somewhere.
ReplyDeleteSome people dont have children, you have a child and you cant take care of her well. God help you
ReplyDeleteMadam, just pay more attention to your chilld or else, na go she dey so
ReplyDeletethe child wants to wear skimpy dresses, boots and all, who dey am show am.. no be you? abeggi
ReplyDeleteLike seriously, this child should be taken from you. Motherless babies home would do better. how can you try to blame her for your fault. its all your fault. your daugther is not an adult yet you claim she want to wear boots and slkimpies, so where did she learn about those?
ReplyDeleteSee Groove o. this kid should get an award actually. what is all this finger pointing going on here. that s how we pretend and everything goes wrong.
ReplyDeleteWhat is my child doing? she is dancing.
ReplyDelete@Adediran, you ah so corekt, imagine such a talented child/ In Europe, that child would be picked up and that talent would be harnessed and the child would grow into a Beyonce or even our own Kaffee
ReplyDeleteYou guys are busy running ur mouth coz she aint urs
ReplyDelete@Anonymous, you hsould have put your name, what does iit matter if she were my daughter? i woul dhave given her the full support and train her into a very great dancer. if she is already this good as a child, you can imagine whats is gonna follow when she grows up. it just gonna take some calculated vigilance.
ReplyDelete@All, Charity begins at home.
ReplyDeleteSome people should actually protect the right s of chilfdren. its soimehow. children are now being integrated into the society as adults... its somhiw
ReplyDeleteSo much noise on the video, i dont see anything wrong with it. and as for the child that wants to be an adulkt, let the mother train the child well. wait for ur time, time still plenty
ReplyDeleteWe are al different, we cannot see issues same way, there is no need for quarrels, the child may just be a talented dancer to you and yto another,, it migth mean a visa to looseness, th ball i sin ur court. nice one ;@bondedhome
ReplyDeleteLets call a spade a spade, leave all these pretence, what is bad is bad. If the girl had all the feminine features to show the dance and you guys are having hard-ons, you would know how bad it is.
ReplyDeleteI DONT RElly think there is anything wrong in this at all. Achild this talented should be followed up thats what i sincerly thoink
ReplyDelete@Mabal.. on feminine features..lwkmd
ReplyDeleteThis is a very serious issue you have brought to the front burner. because, pour society doies not have sufficient proviskion fro childen relaxation. just imagin that kind of party where a child is dancing to Azonto? if you attend an elders party too, you will still hear thesamre Azonto song, and childern who went with their parents would only be made to see how tthe elders dance it and because they have magnetic brain like theblogger put it, they would sttart trying it when the parents are not there. thiere has to be a conscious change. people have to make children remain as children . this video is really pathetic.

This child should be your first from the way you sound. My dear, pray to God for wisdom and dont base your decisions on what people are saying in this blog, many of them are not parents and they dont even knoiw what a woman goes through to raise a kid. Ys for sure, when the chilkd is doing well, tthat child is said to be the fathers child but the bad one is considered the mothers owm. Pls pray for wisdom on how to handle your child. Now tou you as a mother, the bible says train up a child in the ways of the lord so that when he is old, he would not depart from it. the bible also says spare the rod and spil the child. You are a custodian of this child and God would ask you what you have passed on to the child. So look inwards, if you are sincere enough, you would surely find out that you are the real cause of the childs yearnings. maybe you wear skimpies and boots too. So change your activities and what you expose the child to and watch her change. you are lucky she is still very young. @BONDEDHOME, you guys are doing a very goood job here. well done.
