I Am Proud Of How I Was Raised, That's How I Will Raise My Children by mcdokwe(m): 3:51pm On Aug 04, 2020
My Mother gave me this mark while i was being disciplined for stealing her money.
She told me that that I'd grow to tell the story of how my behavior brought about this scar. Even though she turned around to treat me and might not have intended to leave me with a scar.
I understood my crime and still understand no parent should have to deal with a child as me at that point in my life and I have come to understand without any form of resentment her love for me and the need to curb any future tendency of a criminal life.

That might have not be seen as the best way to raise a child citing 'civilization' but I love my mum more for loving me enough to want to guide me through the right path.
Most times when I see people bragging about how 'my parents never beats me' I pity rather than envy them and can't help but blame their parents for doing a very poor job raising them; especially when I juxtapose that mentality or the irrationality and terrible behaviour they intend for you to condone without as much as raising your voice on them.

Those set of kids, in my opinion grow up to have the most sense of entitlement, susceptible to extreme depression, selfish in dealing with others etc.

If I ever get to have children, they will have to experience the kind of love I'm proud to say I had growing up and that is tough love.
I read it somewhere that:
"You should discipline your child or have the law do it later in their lives"

If my Mom wasn't as tough as she was on me and My Siblings, I don't think I will be what I am today!

Despite all the Headiness and Stubbornness! I am Far away from them today but the Trainings and Discipline is what has made me what I am today!

If your Parents don't Discipline you thoroughly, they Hate you!

If you are under your Parents and they hail you when you dress anyhow, your parents hate you!

If you Come Home with the opposite sex , Smooching ,misbehaving and any of your Parents see you and tell you, that's beautiful! They hate you!

If you are Doing any sort of bad stuffs and your Parents live you the way you are, they Hate you!

You would likely end up Useless..

If you have Grand parents who are Disciplinarians, go stay with them..
When you grow older you will appreciate!

Lol, thank goodness for my late father, he was a disciplinarian. He ensured we got all the stuff we needed but never spared the rod (although he didn't beat me much). I remember our two mouths of koboko grin grin grin chain, na me cut am last last, one day as he was about beating me with it that's how the thing cut into two, that must have been the last time he whipped me till he died. I remember the slaps too oooo, chai but the one that really made me who I am and will always be were his words, if not for " if you fail to work then you'll end up poor and most likely a poor bricklayer/mechanic grin grin grin grin". Chai, thank God for my papa sha, maybe I for don't turn runs girl after his demise. He raised me well even if it was just for a short time but he did a good job, however, not all children learn from being whipped ooo, some go just stubborn the more.

You've a very twisted and messed up mentality concerning discipline, correction and love. The fact that you believe not beating kids equates to poor parental duty, signifies the need for you to undergo immediate psychiatric counselling.

Taking of facts, there's no research out there to back your claim of unabused kids turning up with the most sense of entitlement & etcetera.

It's just YOUR unprofessional opinion.

My advice to you is not to have kids. Not yet.

So convicted criminals in Nigerian prisons (correctional facilities) and those still out there committing crimes of various sorts are the outcome of not being beaten when they were kids?

Right is relative. Some people believe physically hitting their children will make them become better adults while some don't subscribe to it.

The question is, with today's Nigeria has the beating of young ones translated to Nigerian adults who are more industrious, less likely to commit nor rationalize wrong doings , translated to larger number of people who are disciplined in private lives and public offices?

Has the beatings many in Nigeria received as kids helped them become better persons in life than Caucasian kids who were not beaten by their parents?

It is written "Raise your child in the way that he shall go and when he is grown, he shall not depart from it"

If you want he to do right, teach him right and it shall come back to you and conversely if you want him to do wrong, then do same and the same shall verily return to you.

Well there's a Caucasian man who is president of a Caucasian country in the western hemisphere who was never beaten as a kid, yet he's probably the most unstable megalomaniac in the history of the white house who was voted for by millions of other unstable psychotics who were never beaten as children.

Point being, there's absolutely no correlation between the form of discipline a person receives as a child and what they turn out to be as an adult.
This point goes to you too @ mcdokwe.

Unstable is a relative term. I'm sure people close to you may say you are unstable as well. An unstable billionaire that became the president of the most powerful country in the world voted in by citizens of a country that works should be looked up to mehn.

Just as we have Presidents on the African continent who probably were beaten as kids by their parents to "instill" discipline in them but turned out to become kleptomaniacs and their policies indicating black lives does not matter and who were repeatedly voted in by majority who were also beaten as kids and have been plagued by learned helplessness (psychology).

Our outcomes as adults is heavily influenced by our childhood experiences and this is evidence based.

Being unstable is not a relative term, I dont know who taught you that. When a person is unstable, a large number of people can attest to it, not just a small biased group.

Half the world (that's a whole lot of people) believe the billionaire president is unstable and anyone voting/supporting him must be equally unstable.
This is nothing compared to those few people close to you who may say you are unstable.

Point again being, there's no correlation between a working country and the form of discipline children receive in that country.

UAE & most other Arabic countries are fond of extreme forms of abuse and violence on children/women, yet compared to Nigeria, these are countries that work.

My point exactly.

Beating a child may not make him/her a well-rounded adult, same way, not beating a child may also not make him/her a well-rounded adult.

UAE is not fond of extreme abuse to women and children please get your facts right. There is a relationship between a working country and discipline. Their leaders are not corrupt, that's how the country works. Your so called leaders that were disciplined with violence, see how they turned out.
Unstable is a relative term. The people that voted for him do not believe that he is unstable. You that lives in Nigeria with believes that He is unstable. And you think you are alright? Oh well. I 'off' my mic at this point.

You spoke my mind. In my opinion, it's all about the family and exposure to the environment. I have a case study of two families. Just look at this scenario.

Family A: Husband abuses and insult wife with words, sometimes hit wife while she loosely talk back or rebel.
Out of frustration, wife talk hashly to children on any slight issue sometimes hit children and slibings.
Slibings grew tough skin and hatred and develop strong wing to rebel among parent, friends and sometimes hit themselves.
The children then relates in the environment where is only the superior adult do the beaten and the inferior adult one get beaten.
To further escalate issues, almost everyone in the environment generally becomes eligible to "hit" or oppress/abuse the inferior ones they're superior to with little or no rebellion.
This has caused a psychological impaired set of adults, who thinks they can "hit" you so far they are superior to you. After, it's normal thing and a way to correct someone.
Such child also grew up to become adult with the same mentality and ideology because, that's the best way to make the infant stick to correction.

No wonder an average Nigerian is aggressive.

But does it work? Yes, only to people born and bread in such environment.

But you can train a child without abusive hitting but it lately depends on you, family and environment. Children were not born to become aggressive, stubborn and rebellious, its the environment and family relationship that made them so.

Family B: Husband respect wife and is a good role model to wife and family. Wife give back honour and respect to husband and present a good image of father to the children.
Both parent gives room for children to explain themselves in case of wrong doings and mischievous and give them unbiased decipline to defaulter irrespective of who's superior or inferior. Doing so, promote a relationship with love, respect, reputable laws and morals to uphold. Also, among those closer to them. Such child takes to correction than the one in "Family A" without abusive hitting.

But right, "Family A" is dominating because we are living in an insane society with angry, toxic and bitter people as a result of their awful life experiences and Nigeria is not even helping matter with increase in Petro price.
