Mumu teacher is what my mother Should be called...So what if she's been force fed and still no physical changes, what advice would my dumb mother have for them this time?

You're referring to your mother who didnt teach you manners.

Also, you have just revealed how dumb you are by misquoting me cos I never told OP to " force-feed his child. You and those saying force-feed are birds of a feather.

Buzz off!

Kobojunkie:
No be the same self-esteem lessons she go learn at home her Taekwando teachers go give her?
Taekwando is great and all but she can learn self-esteem without needing to spend money for lessons she may not really have much interest in.

I see lot's of kids into taekwondo especially gal's child in Abuja

Senseless she-goat, Just admit you have no iota of sense in you, you actually pass off as having the same I.Q as the bullying classmates in the Op's narration.....

You should give your brain up for sale on jumia or jiji for as low as 0.5$..

Mumu teacher.....

Hey guys!

I truly wish I could be anonymous with this funny but troubling challenge.... lol

My family recently moved to another part of the country and the kids changed school. We've all settled down but my daughter is yet to.

She's having a hard time making friends in her new school. She just started Primary class and daily complaint from her is that her peers call her 'a Baby' because she isn't chubby like them.

The other kids appear to be what Yorubas call "Agric"

Please note my daughter isn't skinny. She eats well and has a good stature/height for her age.

She is very confident, smart and outspoken but I feel scared she may start experiencing inferiority complexity at this tender age. No evidence of bullying though based on my discussions with her.

What can I do?

Go to the school and have a word with the teacher, tell her you will not tolerate any of such harassments on your girl and if it happens again, you'll come in and have a word with the parents of every kid who is involved.

Lol... SMH.
Buhari why?

I can see you're pained.

Happy wailing.!!

Put her in different activities, so she can make friends: dance class, sports, Nigerian Girl Guides.

You can also do some church organized activities or events. That's a good way for her to make friends.

And no offense, but if she really is underweight, you better teach her how to fight. Right now, it's not an issue, but these little kids can be nasty creatures when they get older.

She's 5 and she's a Baby.


If she's not comfortable with that, tell her to start calling them Orobo when next they call her a Baby.

My brethren, from primary school till date, I am the most notorious in my set. There is nothing like bully to me, that na Oyinbo deceit. You abuse me, I abuse you back. You curse my Mama, I curse your Mama back, simple. I have a malicious and vicious name for everybody and about 50% of my set are still called the vicious names I gave them in primary school.

Use one of ur relatives/friends as examples of how one can go from ugly duckling to beautiful swan, midget to giant,...i guess it will help pass the point across that it is only temporary. You must try to guard against her overeating.


And believe me, there is verbal bullying. That shii probably hurts more than any other kind

The other kids in school are obviously trying to bully your daughter. What she needs is not counseling. You need to toughen her up by making her make them inadequate. Teach her to call them orobo tutu next time they make fun of her or mimic the walk of a fat gorilla with a puffed mouth. If the other kids try to beat her up, encourage her to tell the teacher and be confident enough to confide in you as the father. After just two weeks, watch your daughter grow in conference.

I have a 5 year old daughter too. I usually don't call her by her given name. I call her 'Beautiful', my Angel, my love, Ure Daddy. She has a slim built and I assure you she can't be bullied. Not even by adults. She tells me everything. I mean everything.

I've said enough. The tip above works. Give it a try. After all, what have you got to lose ?

So because you weren't bullied, we should pretend say Na oyibo mindset even clearly this child here is being bullied?

Denial seems to be a regular diet for many of you even at this age. Better

Goodness gracious! A child should be made fattened like a lamb for Christmas in order to boost her confidence and from a "Tisha" for that matter.

Our educational system needs a revamp. And she still keeps defending the abomination. Fascinating!

Anyway better suggestions have been given.
May God bless the wonderful Angel. She will soon adjust.

That's why a little spice of "street" should always be given to kids to avoid anyone bullying them wherever they find themselves... no mata the body mass of ur kid... She or heb can lead the pack

Mumu raise to power 2, Enjoy your night!

Advise her to try and make friends and give her time she will cope with others

Can't you see you're a disgrace to Nigeria?
Look at your dumb orientation smelling everywhere to thousands viewing this thread in the entirety of planet. Feeding... How does feeding well solve the problem... What infuriates everyone is for the fact that you still refuse to amend your errors.

Mercychen:


What exactly is your point because you've not made any sense as far as I'm concerned.

I'm a teacher, not her parents. The best I can do is warn her classmates to stop calling her that but that will not change how the girl feels because she's already lost her self-esteem and needs to regain her confidence back which requires practical solution ( feeding her fat) which only the parents can do and not the teacher!

What would counselling do for 5yr old by the way?

so you live with a group of friends that host orgies every friday, now they're taunting you for not being part of them.like most humans, you report this to a highly respected person and the reply goes like* the hell, get urself a truck load of co*doms and join in the fun!*

Can you make your contributions without mentioning me?

I didn't commit any crime, only made my own contributions like every other person here and I do not care if it doesn't sit well with majority here because im not seeking anyones approval. my opinion remains strictly my opinion and
I'm not ready to change it to suit anyone.

Mercychen:
You people should pump her with enough food because no amount of counseling will do the trick or make her feel better as long as she still looks "smallish" to them and is still being refered to as a baby.

Also remember she spends most part of the day with "them" than you. So, your counseling will only be effective for a few hours and wear off as soon as she gets to school and faces her mates again.

Adding some flesh is the only thing that can build her confidence in no time and make them stop calling her a baby.

Jeez! Are you a human being at all?

Please give your daughter all the validation and love she needs.

I can imagine how huge it is for you to bare your vulnerability on this platform, cos obviously you are open to learning.

There are a lot of YouTube videos on how to raise confident daughters...and you could use search words like: "how to build the confidence of your 5 year old daughter..." You'll definitely find a lot of very very helpful and enlightening YouTube videos on this subject.

I hope your daughter understands that she is not defined by the classifications of her friends, and their opinion has nothing on her cos she is a star!

For her to be this sensitive at 5, then now more than ever is the time to make her understand how outstanding, beautiful and powerful she is!

joceey:
Just tell your daughter, how special she is and also having a very rare gift from GOD

Agreed.
Gradually build her self worth and esteem.
Encourage her to enjoy her new environment and mix with her school mates.
Please find out if she's being bullied by her school mates, and draw the school authorities attention to address the issue.
With time, she will adjust.
