AFRICAN PARENTS

[simplyME!]

Help me please

I dont understand - why oh why do nigerian parents beat discipline into their children so much. You must respect, kneel down to say hi if ur a girl - do a few press ups if ur a male. And then the adults themselves (who were familiar with the cane from a young age) have such a FOUL attitude. more then the so called "lost people of Britain".

Dont get me wrong - i smelt the cane too and i will be beatin my own children. But it doesnt make sense that Nigerian people are the way they are. I have never seen so much back stabbing, back biting and down right rudeness in my life. And i am sure no other culture could rival their maniplation.

So, i think the cane should be used, but to a certain limit, because nigerians eat the cane for breakfast lunch and dinner and look what happened?

What do u people think?

Violence begets violence.
Beatings get you  no where. Okay a clip round the ear hole.
But where does this idea that you must pound sense into
somebody, bruise them, scar them and torture them come
from?
Why cannt people just communicate?
My Dad used to look at me all sad when I did something wrong,
or if he was not pleased with me.
That was enough to make me not repeat my error.
Beatings have to stop.
Tell me something you give birth to a beautiful baby, and then
all you want to do is whip the child till it bleeds?

if you spare the rod because you want to be nice to your kids, if they are wayward then you are to blame the' parents life is a mirror at which our young one look at life' 90 out of 100 children from a strict background are sucessful behaviour wise and when they look back in fairness they bless thier parents. do you think otherwise?

The Rod referred to in the Bible is actually

referring to God's word and direction. If you noticed

I said ok a clip round the ear,which means not bashing

the liveing daylights out of the child but a quick smack.

Many kids have ended up dead, maimed and badly injured,

because the parent has lost control. That is the problem.

For some people the more they smack the angrier they

become and they hit harder and harder.

I have nothing against being disciplined, but let me remind you,

even one of God's Perfect sons became wayward. You don't

see God flogging or getting mad. 

I have raised my children and believe me they are far from perfect,

So I do know that some children can be very difficult.

There are other methods by  which to discipline which are more

effective.

Now theres a beating and theres a BEATING.

If you have to beat ur child like ur beating a full grown person you aint havin no effect on that child. The child is most probably gonna beat u back! If u restricting your power its ok. If u have to beat ur child black and blue to get some behaviour out of them than what kind of parent are you.

Trust - a mother should be able to control a child with her eyes - her speech her behaviour and her hand u get me. A lil bit of everythin. 

Theres a certain age when a child would only understand a beating - then ur gonna have tot each ur child to understand words as well.
