JOOHEL:
A VERY TOUCHING STORY.
A little gal saw a dead cat on the road on her way back from school. She was so sad because she loved cats so she touched it, she touched it again, she touched it and touched it. She paused for a while den she touched it again. She went home to change into new clothes and came back to touch it again.She kept touching.. . As I told u earlier its a touching story.

Disneylady:

Since you said violence cannot solve it and we need to train our children and also, not every child can be trained with soft voice or calmness

Mindfulness:


Did she say her cousins fear her? Who told you kids must fear you?

Mindfulness:


It is possible that in Nigeria teachers can't read or write properly so I wouldn't be surprised.

Mindfulness:


Why is that so?

And were you not the one propagating non-violence on the domestic violence thread?

Yet, you see nothing wrong with violence against KIDS? And then you are surprised that some people are aggressive and turn violent towards their spouses?

Mindfulness:


EVERY child can be trained well without beatings.

Disneylady:

At least we should instill a little bit of fear in them so that if they want to misbehave at times their mind will quickly flash to who they are afraid of. And when is afraid I mean som1 they respect and respect does not just come, it depends on the relationship between you and the kid

mmsen:
Beating children is a backwards, nonsensical practice.

Mindfulness:


There is ABSOLUTELY no need for children to fear their parents or teachers. Such methods are for people who do not know better.

You teach your children love, respect and trust. To do so, you must be a living example of such values. And if your kids break some of the rules that are important in your family, you have 101 ways to punish them but beatings should NOT be part of your repertoire.

I wonder why people think that children need to fear them.

spare e rod and spoil e child....

Just a little flogging won't hurt a child

Disneylady:

It seems you don't understand the word 'fear' as it is used here

carbonmonoxide:
Most people(Nigerians) believe that without beating their children, the child will become disobedient, and they regard beating of kids as a way of being giving them good discipline...

Some parents even tell their children's teachers to beat the hell out of them if they do not obey school laws or fail some subjects..

So the topic is do you believe in beating of children (most especially in schools) as a way of discipline or as an act of wickedness??

Let's hear your views..

Mindfulness:


Crap! I know MANY children who are not beaten up and yet are very lovely.




It does not hurt the child? So why do you do it if it doesn't hurt?

Mindfulness:


It does more harm than good IN THE LONG RUN!

Captainswag225:
do u have evidence to prove that?

I already know but maybe it will help "the spoil the rod spoil the child crew" to know it.

Captainswag225:
not entirely true coz alotta people were flogged at school but they grew up to great and healthy looking men

Kalvan:


It's crazy how they're trying to justify abuse. Nigeria is truly a funny place.

Mindfulness:


What are the good "thanks"?
