lawrenzoo:Baba don turn your child to dundee, let that child be street smart. Unless there's an express or busy road in between your street... Let the kid go out an interact with his environment. |

Kobojunkie:it's not reasonable to compare the Japanese society to ours, aside the fact that Japan have the culture of teaching their kids on self reliance, japanese kids cook their school meals themselves and self themselves too, they learn to clean and do many other things at a very young age and that's their culture and way of life. how would you compare a Japanese society where an 80 years old has never experience theft, pick pocket or kidnapping once to nigeria where skull mining, kidnapping and other vices are normal daily occurrences ![]() ![]() 1 Like |

you've been over protective. Though if the errand service requires road crossing or high population of bikes it might not be right to send him. Night is also dangerous. Children can surprise you any... because i remember where I use to visit when I was 6-8years old. It also depends on the child...there are smart 7 that can handle complex situations. |

lawrenzoo: If your wife is so desperate sending your son on errand, she should follow up at close proximity. I have a son of your son's age. I will never allow him go alone to the store. I do follow him and watch him buy and pay while I watch like a stranger. NIgeria is not even safe anymore to allow 7 year old boy on the street. 1 Like |

Some Nigerians are too dumb to reason. What if the child never returns? |
Re: Should A Child Of This Age Be Sent On An Errand? by IbileIfe: 12:20pm On Aug 27, 2023 |
NO. Anyone who cares for the safety and security of his or her child will not send the child on any errand. |

Alexiiydon: What's the incidence of disappearance of children in the southeast, relative to your own region, you hypocrite?? Which region is frequently in the news for beheading children, women and men for rituals? Do the insecurity and criminal practices which include ritual killings spare sny rrgion in Nigeria? Are people from your region not amongst those running out of Nigeria with insecurity as one of their major excuses? Do you have any statistics to prove your own region is spared? Idiots like you turn every thread into tribal war ground 1 Like |

Reinamaria: Didn't u read what the op wrote there or u simply can't comprehend? Why would a responsible father teach his child to disobey his mum? The man only called his wife's attention to the insecurity associated with sending a 7yeear old child on errands in the street. |

To me I send my son who is 8 now on errand to buy me recharge card and also buy himself snacks I started sending him since he was 7. He makes his bed, sweep and arrange his room. He will be attending boarding school so it is good I teach him all this now. At 13 I have started traveling long distance journeys alone because of the secondary school I attended in the 80s/90s when Nigeria was good. 2 Likes |

lawrenzoo: Teach them early. Let them learn to be independent and hardworking very early. Nothing wrong with sending a 7yr old on errand, but not too far ls also make sure Yr environment is a good one. |

Do u want your boy to become a Dundee or a mumu right? Give him street awareness from a tender age. But protect ur daughter and give her soft life. |

Osobi32: He isn't talking about being old enough. He is talking about their safety. Even when with your kids on the road, you still have to tell them to leave the road for an incoming vehicle. Now imagine you aren't there. Also, they can easily be lured away by strangers and be kidnapped. |

except your son is a Dull human, at 7 he should be running those tiny errands for his mother. Another factor is the environment, if it's a busy neighborhood with high vehicular movement, then it can be risky. Catch them young! 1 Like |

Kobojunkie: You're comparing Japan with Nigeria? In safety, security, civilization and orderliness? Infact how do you even compare both? |

Gadafii:Why una no dey read for Pete's sake.. If you have access to Netflix, I suggest you binge-watch the two seasons of the show called Old Enough, a Japanese show that features children much younger than your kids being sent out on errands. undecided If you are scared for their safety, then I would suggest you instead follow them from a couple of steps away to guard the kids from afar when they are out on such errands. I don't think you should stop them. If fear of insecurity will deprive you of raising a child with healthy social intelligence then why bother having a child in the first place in that environment? ![]() |

There's nothing wrong in that , teach them the basic security awareness, it will also help them to be street wise .. |

Sincerely, you're a perfect description of a responsible father... However, going by ya analysis,l think l should input my opinion using what happens in my house as a case study...I started gradually by sending my 8yr old daughter now 10yr on errand beside my house in broad day light...Over time,l will stand by d road side watching over her if she's going like few yards away from my house but now l allow her go alone to those places without staying by d entrance gate watching her but with strict warning that it's dangerous to talk to strangers...The only thing l will never tolerate is sending under 10yr old on errand in d night...We must remember we live in a wicked world now where criminals lurk n roam d street looking for vulnerable children...Am very certain some parents here my have divergent views on this but l will state here that,it is better to stay at home peacefully than having sleepless nights all in d name of giving my children independence...My candid advice... |

Kobojunkiee: Why should he follow them? Of what use is the errand then? The OP is talking about the age, not about the rest you listed. At least 10 is okay outside the house. |
