WHEN THINGS CONTINUE TO GO WRONG

(Edited)

As parents, some of our duties are to guide, direct and continuously teach our children how to behave responsibly wherever they find themselves. Of course, no parent will be proud to receive news of his or her child tormenting the lives of other children out there and so it becomes important that we should always be intentional parents.

My son and I

Greetings to the Daddies and mummies of hive community. I do hope we are all doing great today. About this title, there has been a lot going on in my mind and that led me to express my feeling and perhaps get some views from my fellow parents.

I understand that every child is different and their actions and attentions to instructions differ as well. I also understand that no matter how we instruct our children on how well they should behave, they might not adhere to all the instructions. Some children are good at obeying instructions, and behaving responsibly while at home or outside the home while some are just too difficult to handle. Whichever the case of your child, I think that we should step up our games into raising a responsible child. Of course, parental duties are not an easy peasy task but then, we have to take responsibility for our child. The child we intentionally brought into this world with the help of God, we need to become more deliberate in our parenting journey.

Sometimes this year, my son returns from school looking reddish, weak, and with stains of blood on his clothes. I first asked the school bus driver on what happened to him, and he said he knows nothing about it. My son couldn't even respond to me, he was so down and after a few minutes, he opened his mouth and I saw that two of his incisors (the two front teeth) has fallen out! I was so much worried, even though the teeth were still the primary teeth which means, that the permanent teeth will still erupt but it wasn't a natural exfoliation of teeth. I brushed his teeth that morning without any sign that the teeth is about to exfoliate so I was so inquisitive to know what transpired in school considering the stain of blood on his cloth coupled with his red eyes too. My son began to explain to me how one of his classmates pushed me from a staircase and he fell with his head rolling on the stairs and then in the process, the two front teeth fell off. Hmmm! I wept for my dear son, cleaned him up, and gave him some pain reliever. I was so much annoyed that such a thing happened without a call from the school. I called the school without any answer, then I decided to visit the school first the next day to find out what happened. To my greatest surprise, my son fell ill after a few hours .

The doctor told me on our last medical visit that I shouldn't allow so much pressure on his head, so apparently, the illness started as a result of the severe fall in school with his head. It was an ugly situation with both emotional and financial stress. Glad he recovered, the school later apologized for everything however, it wasn't long before the school called me again that the same student pushed my son while in the Assembly ground, he fell and sustained some injury 🤕. They treated him in school and he was fine, I reacted but then calmed down. This day again... was another student...It has gotten to the extent that seeing a call from my son's school frightens me and I am worried about my son!

On my part,I make it a point of duty every day to always remind my son of how well he should behave out there, and how he should always put all my teachings to him into practice wherever he finds himself. So far, I haven't received any bad reports from the school about my son. Honestly, I am still thinking about how best to handle this issue and in case you have any good idea on how I can approach this recurrent issue, feel free to drop a comment for me.

Finally, our duties as parents are many, and we should not leave any stone unturned while parenting. We must consciously instill good values and morals in our children always and continuously pray for them to be responsible children and not a child that will always put other children out there in pain!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING!!!

PLEASE NOTE, THE PICTURE IS MINE

was so much annoyed that such a thing happened without a call from the school.

Whole reading above I was also thinking the same that why the school didn't inform you about the incident

Nkem, how old is your son?
I am wondering why different students are behaving the same way with the kid. Is there a group of students who have turned against him.
I am not sure what would be the solution for this situation but I can feel your pain. I think you should strictly talk to the school that they should keep the boys away from your son

Amber dear, thanks so much for coming around. My son is 7 years old.

Is there a group of students who have turned against him.

I had to call the owner of the school and she said the student who injured my son badly is his friend and that she already apologized. However, I can't place the whole thing. Do you think I should invite the parents of the student for a polite dialogue?

You said that the next time it was another kid who injured him. Is that so or I misread?

I think the school is responsible for inviting the parents of that kid. If you would do it on your behalf, things may turn upside down if parents are not reasonable

Yea, the first one and the second was same student while the 3rd time was another student.
However, I think I should go with your suggestion and see if the school will organize "parents" so we can talk to ourselves about this children. Some might need a gentle reminder of how important it is to raise a responsible child who will not go out there to put other child's health at risk.
Thanks so much for your kind words 👍

I am not yet a parent but I have younger ones at home probably I can relate a little to some of the things you said. Some children are naturally stubborn while others are not, some might be obedient at home but stubborn outside which ever category your child might be, it is still your responsibility as a parent to continue moulding and building that child, until he/she is made perfect.

Children are like tender plants growing in a garden. There are times one would have to look for stick to tie with them so that they don't grow abnormally. There is no character in a child that can not be eliminated, the problem is parents easily give up on building good characters in their children and concentrate mainly on other aspects which is good but that wound you refuse to treat today can be the reason for your pains tomorrow.

Parents are gods to their children, they have the power to design and reshape their children. I believe that any attribute I see in a child is a direct reflection of who the parent is. These are gifts given to you by God. It will surely be required of you someday. Children are like seeds given to man by God to grow. He would surely ask you how you manage them one day.

Concerning the issue of your son, I would advise you visit the school and let them know how you feel about what is happening to your child. The teachers need to put an eye on him . In fact it is part of their responsibilities to ensure that all their pupils are safe and sound. Just find time and visit the school meet his class teacher and complain to him/her. He is just a child, he can't not take care of himself. They need to put an eye on him.

Then you also keep doing the motherly prayer for him. I know you have trained him well, don't get tired of doing that. Keep praying for him .

If it happened just once, I would say you can just let it go, but he pushed your son again, that's not nice at all. I'll suggest you have a conversation with the boy's parent about it.
I feel so pained about this.

Please ma'am, don't just ignore it like that, I believe you should talk to the boy's parent.
