*Hauwa*:Very Early, I tried it on my baby cousin. Before he passes by someone, he taps and points. He carries his plate to the sink and cleans up afterwards. He listens and does what you ask him to do (except in Church ) He's even trying to wear his own clothes. He tries to help as much as possible. For a boy younger than 3, I'd say he's trying It's now up to his parent to keep it up while I'm not there. Don't baby them too much, trust me, it's never too young to start. @SisSY and Hauwa, Happy Sunday |

*Hauwa*: start from i'd say elementary cox the early the better but then you got to define what constitutes a gentleman in your view and start teaching it to them in a way that they be able to understand. it is never too late. there is no age too early to start teaching them good manner as long as they can talk @ Ebony-Silk happy sunday to u too baby |

~Sissy~: What ways can you make them understand? |

@ all, I am sorry I havent been able to keep up with the momentum. @Ebony, let me add to the things u said about sex education. Contrary to ur own experience, my mum actually told me that if a guy touches me at all I will be pregnant. Imagine the way I act when i get on a bus. . .lol. Well, u said most of the important things. The aspect that may not work after a while is when u scare them by saying u will beat d hell out of them when u see them with boys. I have always been d tomboy type. I loved hanging around my male cousins until it backfired one day and I learnt my lesson. Lol. I believe every parent should teach his or her child comportment in addition to the sex education. Like sitting habit, sleeping habit and so on. I guess this will reduce the level of sexual harrasment and early sexual activities among kids. |

How do u teach young boys to be gentlemen? 1. D father will be a very good example if he is also a gentleman. 2. Teach them simple courtesy. Good manner of approach, politeness, proper table manners, the 3 magic words . . . 3. Teach them never to hit a lady 4. Instil a sacrificial spirit in them. Always willing to help and assit others. That is all i have for now. |
Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by Tgirl4real(f): 12:44am On Mar 30, 2009 |
@Sissy, i agree with ebony. U are well enlightened in matters concerning children. Question: is it proper to dress in front of kids? |
Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by Nobody: 1:27am On Mar 30, 2009 |
Tgirl4real:Ehrrrrm no! I mad that mistake and my cousin has been touching some places. That is not cool, mehn. Tgirl4real:Same here What my mom only told me was, "I will not take care of any baby, just be ready to move out". That got to me because I know she ain't playing. |
Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by Sissy3(f): 1:31am On Mar 30, 2009 |
Tgirl4real: good points! |
Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by Sissy3(f): 1:56am On Mar 30, 2009 |
Tgirl4real: thnks gurl, the little ones just make ma heart melt well, it depends on the age of the child. under 3 and gals i say yes, and i do sometimes bath with them, they could hardly know anything 3-5yr they can only see me topless. IMO, i think it really depends on how comfortable the person is with the act, some folks stop when they start feeling uncomfortable with it. |
Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by Sissy3(f): 1:57am On Mar 30, 2009 |
Ebony-Silk: LOL, yea dats not cool at all |
Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by Nobody: 1:58am On Mar 30, 2009 |
~Sissy~:No, I don't think so. By two years of age, they start imitating everything they see and hear. They might not know exactly what it is, but they'd imitate it. Until it becomes a habit. |
Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by Sissy3(f): 2:17am On Mar 30, 2009 |
thats more of the reason why i think when you start feeling uncomfortable with it, then stop, but in IMO, 3 yrs is okay |
Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by Sissy3(f): 2:18am On Mar 30, 2009 |
i meant under 3yrs oh my, can Seun plz return the modify button |
Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by Nobody: 2:27am On Mar 30, 2009 |
rotflmao. . . Ok, I have a little problem. My terrible two over here keeps taking off is clothes. Thing is, he wants to take it off and learn how to wear it himself. He takes off the diaper, hispants and sirt. I put it back on, but no!!! He takes it again. How do I STOP him? I mean, I wouldn't mind, but he keeps crying when he can't put it back on! urggggg |
Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by Nobody: 2:28am On Mar 30, 2009 |
I mean, his pants and shirt* |
Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by Sissy3(f): 2:48am On Mar 30, 2009 |
Ebony-Silk: he is playing stubborn, may just to show you that he can think for himself and that he can assert his thoughts and beliefs. i suggest maybe you just allow him to put it himself, even if he cant do it, allow him to do it and when he cant do it and start crying, , then do it for him by showing him how to do it. just make sure you show him how you do it . if not there will be no peace LOL |
Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by Sissy3(f): 2:51am On Mar 30, 2009 |
how do you get them to eat their veggies? i mean trying to get them to eat their vegetables can be a war between IRAQ and IRAN any fun ideas |
Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by Nobody: 2:58am On Mar 30, 2009 |
~Sissy~:I let him!! But the thing is, after trying and trying, he starts crying. Then I put it on for him AND show him, the next thing you know, he takes it off again. You see him running around the house naked. I gave up You know he almost got me arrested today. There's a studying table by my window. The window curtain was open right, so he climbed on the table with nothing on and stared and waved at ppl passing by. I beat the nonsense out of him ~Sissy~: Oh oh that. Mehn, hmmm, I odn't know. Maybe you should feed them more gerber baby veggies while they're growing so they can get used to it. |

Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by Nobody: 1:00am On Mar 31, 2009 |
@Sissy, thanks How do you get your child to be active? To join extracurricular activities? If the child does not want to, do you force him to or. . . .what? |
Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by Sissy3(f): 1:42am On Mar 31, 2009 |
if even they dnt want to join extracurricular activity in school well thats kinda their choice, but at home especially if they are still in elementary school, or preschool. i'd suggest maybe finding out why they dont want to join any extracurricular activity, it could something you can easily conceive them to change their mind. if they dont want to join competitive sports, i suggest maybe try swimming, dancing, cycling, skateboarding, yoga, walking, etc. Find out their interests. i think you should kinda make them do some exercise, if even they are reluctant. but dont force them, as in punishment. i'd suggest maybe limiting the TV time, and video game, computer time if they use one so that they would be forced to play outside. Establish a regular schedule for physical activity, catching ball, basketball, etc and maybe you should join them just to make it more energetic for it. but still i wouldnt let them go without doing some exercising |
Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by Nobody: 3:29am On Mar 31, 2009 |
~Sissy~:Yes o, excercise, they must do. But your plan works for only elementary school children. . . . but it works, that's all that matters |
Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by owoseyi: 3:38am On Mar 31, 2009 |
many parent do think in line with this topic but are confused on what to do many buy pankere (cane) to correct any anomaly practiced by their child to some they denied their child food. even some give capital punishment but for me i believe, or should beg the parent that we should think on how we must be disciplined instead of thinking on how to discipline our child on any wrong doing. by discipline yourself, your child learn how to control himself. children learn by imitation so what you give them is what they will return to you remember ROI return on investment. thanks |
Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by Nobody: 3:49am On Mar 31, 2009 |
Such a thoughtful post owoseyi:ah ahn, kilo de? Is the child in the army? owoseyi:True that |
Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by Sissy3(f): 4:27am On Mar 31, 2009 |
owoseyi: this your plan while it sounds good, doesn't always apply in every case coz some or should i say many parents conduct themselves in a very good manner, very respectful, etc. but still their children are totally the opposite of them. remember, it takes a village to raise a child, even if the parents are disciplined, children can still learn how to be disrespect others etc. schools, friends, media, and the society as whole contribute to this. that's why i believe in disciplining the child. |
Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by owoseyi: 4:36am On Mar 31, 2009 |
yes! discipline is good. parent ought to be a role model i agree with you. media and other means of communication often pollute the mind of our younger ones. but there is a need for parents to be in control by first discipline them self. any parent that will loose control by first discipline himself will leave the control to the children, guest what it will lead to disaster. |
