How would you discipline an only child
HOW WOULD YOU DISCIPLINE AN ONLY CHILD?
As I was running like Flash to get home before the poo poo in "bum bum" will disgrace it's ancestors not me, I noticed Aunty Nekky, the seamstress near our house, ,flogging her 5 year old daughter.
"So a girl of your age cannot help her mother to bring out things from the shop, idiot !"
She screamed at the little innocent girl who was crying while entering the shop to probably bring out the transparent bucket used in show casing " a strong flour recipe" we call "KPOMBE".
Two of that KPOMBE can hold hunger for the next 48 hours. No cap.
As I was offloading the rubbish I have eaten for the past one week because of SAPA, sweating like someone that ran a marathon race with the Kenyans, I started having thoughts on why Aunty Nekky would be flogging her daughter that way because she didn't help her, A 5 year old for that matter.
My thoughts gave me some reasons for her disciplinary action on the girl.
Firstly, Aunty Nekky was the only surviving girl out of 5 girls that was born to her parents, she had 3 other brothers.
Despite being the only girl, she was severely disciplined which evidently helped her throughout the cause of her life.
So she wants give her daughter the same disciplined her parents gave her.
Secondly, the girl is her first child after a year of marriage and since then she had no more kids.
So she does not want her only child and a girl at that to be lazy and indisciplined.
This disciplinary acts made her daughter to be obsessed with greetings, she could greet you even if she saw you 20 times a day.
But regardless of this reasons and perspective, I have some questions.
1. Must we give our kids the same disciplinary act that our parents used on us?
2. Did our parents disciplinary actions really affects our behaviours later in life?
3. Are there not pampered children that have good manners and disciplined kids that are waywards?
