You should start sending them errands at 7, maybe not far but let them start feeling sense of independence and maturity 2 Likes 1 Share |

Kobojunkie: You show Japanese society where kidnapping and even crime in general is so low that the police do not have enough to do? This isn't Japan. Kidnapping and ritual killings are common place here. In the Scandinavian countries, mothers leave their babies in cots outside when they enter saloons to do their hair. These are safe countries. I know you meant well. Nigeria is still too dangerous. When a kid is 8 or 9, sending him on errands should be okay. 1 Like 1 Share |

As I parent, I would strongly advise against that. Why would you even send your 7 years old child an errand outside your house? Please be guided! Do not leave the safety of your children in the hands of your wife. Wives can be very annoying the way they think. |

It's not safe because of the situation of the world we live in, especially the insecurity and crime so rampant within the neighbourhood in Nigeria. Majority of women won't reason this hence always see nothing wrong sending minors out there in the street to run errands. For me you dare not try it with my kid who's that age |

7years old kids are not the same, some 7 years old Naija street kids can sell you, the alimajeris kids, 7 years old that can trick you into traps . Some pako 7 years old will outsmart 13 years old Ajebutter kids What type of 7 years old kids are you talking about? Pako or Ajebutter? 7 years old kids driven to school everyday in LuXury SUV or the 7 years old that treks to school everyday under hot sun ? 3 Likes |

The current situation of Nigeria and the world at large made it very unsafe to send a 7 year old child on an errand. In our days, at 7 we were already crossing many streets that could be as far as 5km to go play football matches, do street hawking and that made us so strong and street smart now. Thesame cannot be said of this generation of children. You will see a 16/17/18 years old students of high school who wait for their parents to follow them to and fro their JAMB UTME centres. Majority of nowadays children which some of us call *Estate children* don't even know the streets around them, they cannot do anything serious on their own without the help of their parents. The highest they can do is tik tok and snap chats in the comfort of their home. 2 Likes |

I have started sending mine but all within my neighbourhood. I am amazed at the social skills and interaction they have built. These were people that hardly greets people when walking with them on the streets. I used sending them errands to teach them "money and the change" system, which they have grasped well. They are 8 and 9. There is nothing i wont tell them to buy without them getting the right amount of change. You can send them within your vicinity but not across the streets. They do go across the streets but with my house girl. I give my 9 year old my card to buy things within the neighbourhood or collect cash from a POS nearby. It is just a way of getting her used to certain things. In as much as our environment is toxic, polluted and dangerous, I wouldn't want them to miss a major part of their development, which is social skills and awareness of one's immediate environment. OP, also try and walk around with them in your neighbourhood so that people would know that they are yours in case of emergency or if they miss road, others will recognise them and alert you. 10 Likes |

OP never said he has stopped the boy from going on the errand, he's only concerned that the boy and his sister are too young to be sent on errands outside the home which I support 100%. Not even with the way the country is right now. Reinamaria: 1 Like 1 Share |
