CHILD-UPBRINGING MISTAKES 🇳🇬

A Thread

1. A child hits his head on a table, to console him, you ask him to "beat the table" in return. Being a child, he doesn't know the table has no feelings, so he does it & eventually feels better.

This subconsciously teaches your child to develop a strong desire for REVENGE.

2. A child ers, so you discipline him
Afterwards he forgets and tries to play with you, but you rebuke him because you're still mad at him.

This subconsciously teaches your child to develop the ability to keep MALICE.

3. Your child has a bad trait or habit, then instead of trying to correct them, you make excuses for them saying:"that's how s/he behaves oh" or "s/he's just a baby".

The odds are that the child will grow up retaining those traits.

4. You don't mind beating your child yourself, but the moment another person verbally corrects your child, you feel severely disturbed. You don't let them get corrected by others.

You can't know it all. Your child will one day leave your house. Let him learn from the streets.

5. You always beat your child, caring less about whether or not he knows what he did wrong. You tell yourself "spare the rod and spoil the child".

This child will either grow up to be very feeble or a bully. He will either be ruled by fear in lieu of morals, or become heartless.

6. You are pushing your child into a particular profession, while ignoring all signs that reveal his original talent, interests or potentials.

The child might find difficulty coping with his studies, or even drop out. If he sees it through, he may lead a boring/depressed life.

7. You let your child get the better part of his entertainment online. "Child Tab, iPad, TV".

He grows up lonely and has very poor socializing skills. He'd depend on you for most real-life problems. Besides, you can't be sure of what he's learning online.

8. You don't let your kids engage in vocation or learn a trade.

This is proving to be a huge mistake with every extra day. Our country is changing profoundly. Education is the key to success and education is not limited to formal school only.

9. You & your spouse left your child in the care of outsiders without any other reason but work.

Its true that you both need to work. But your child is not a chicken who's automatically ready when they're grown. They need constant observation and corrections.

10. You trained your kids perfectly well in every other respect but you failed to show them the way to God.

You made a very big mistake.
