Then you have your solution already .Suspend sub for another month and use that month to reposition his interest
Best advice. I have a 2+ year boy, who's crazy about PJ Mask too, infact, get calls himself Gecko! I suspend sub once their school resumes, it affects me too cos I don't get to watch news and all, but I'm ready to sacrifice for their future. Yes, he cries, but I know he won't die. I allow more freedom to watch when they're on hols though

Why the wife? Why not either of them?


Yeah, I actually meant to say he should do it or get his wife to. Either is fine definitely.

My two children have their own Tv in their room different from the main Tv in the palour but still under control. learn to stand your ground as a Father before that child grow wings.

You and all the other guys condemning this lady is because you are men who know nothing about giving care to the child. Did you see any lady there talking rubbish?

The bond between mother and child is very different from the bond between child and siblings or dad.

You guys cannot understand how hard it was for this lady in bringing about a change, to the extent of crying to NL.

However, my case is different Helinues. grin

The same patience ozokwor of NL you call me which I love anyway, is still the same toughie at home!

Any child that pushes my patience would be in soup already.



Forget the bond. We try to imitate white when it comes to training a child not knowing that they have a stronger law there.

was there no bond between us and our mothers yet we grew up

kids love cartoons but always make sure you switch channel so as to not make them feel entitled,and try to blend the programs he watches it must not necessarily be cartoon and when it is cartoon it must not necessarily be pjmasks,and try to make sure he knows when its time to off the TV,and most especially do not forget to blend scolding and caning as he is in an early stage

And try to minimize general TV time
Also cartoons are good for kids as it helps there English

To me suspending the subscription is never the solution.
There, should be limitation to what we do in life, adults and children. If you cannot instill disciplines in a kid of 3 yrs. Then, I think, there is problem somewhere.

This is how you go about creating negative bonds. There are 100000s ways to create impactful bonds among children and their mums. If you fail to impose a discipline at the tender age at 3, when then, do you impose it?

A boy / girl that does not take instructions from parents and you are here terming that as a bond?

nawaoh again...
with my own experience, I won't understand.
punishing yourself so as the kids won't watch cartoon also is bad. They will seek solace in their neighbour house then you will forced to subscribe.

the rule in my house is, you are only permitted to watch cartoon on public holidays and weekends during school time and as much as you like during holiday but on one condition:
1. your classwork for the week should be excellent
2. we must approve if we are home. nobi say we love watching tv but in case we have a program to watch there.

same goes with the friends they make. Their friends choice is theirs but we must know.

Discipline is discipline. Do not allow a child unnecessary want supersede yours lest they grow up thinking you must do anything for them once they force stubborn.

Really don't know the section to post this.

My 3 year old son loves cartoon especially PJ Mask so much to the extend he could watch it from 7pm to 3a.m in the morning shocked

If you take him to the bed room he won't sleep, he cries and if not this cartoon no body watches any other program anymore.

He use to be very very intelligent before now, its seem this PJ Mask has entered his head.

Please help me, how can I stop him or distract him from this??

Lalasticlala, Seun, Ishilove

Crying won’t kill him
Allow him to cry

Do not stop the subscription. Children should not determine the rules in the house. that is a recipe for disaster. IWhen it is time for bed, I change the channel to CNN or BBC and keep the remote for safekeeping. Within 5 minutes, trust me he falls asleep. I will not change the rules for my child. Na wisdom be everything.

Oga no be like that poo

I do flog him most times but yet he does the same thing.

There is a month I refused to make subscription

He senses came back

Please subscribe and activate parental control on those cartoon channels. Once he sees that the stations are not showing he will divert his attention to something else.

If you cannot control a 3 year old child now, I shake head for you ma. Where is your husband? You don't need to stop your subscription because of your child. My children watch cartoon as well but as soon as they hear my voice, they will change it to TVC news with speed. Discipline your child abeg madam
Re: HELP: My 3 Year Old Son Can't Do Without Cartoons, Stays Awake Till Morning by johnmartus(m): 5:01pm On Dec 09, 2020
Just don't teach them lies. They should not take after you.
ChoCho54:
Madam be strong.

Don't subscribe for two months, it will reposition his interest when it's finally up again. From there, you can create and enforce new rules.

I don't allow my kids to watch while preparing for school in the morning, infact nobody will put it on.

Then I don't allow them watch it during homework time

By 9pm, they must be in bed lights out.

Note that it was a war enforcing this pattern before I declined to subscribe.

Be strong dear. TV is the best nanny ever, but be strong about this.

My brother don't be too soft on your kid. My 2years + kid too loves PJ Mask and can watch it overnight if allowed. In my home, I have a Desktop computer and kid tablet where I put all her favorite cartoons. We put either one ON when we are watching programs on TV and I ensure I put them off latest 9pm and force her to sleep.

Initially, it was difficult as she would cry her eyes out to blackmail us into letting her continue but I won't budge. My rule is no TV or computer or tablet after 9pm for her and she's gotten used to it. She no longer cry when it's time. She would even say dad time to sleep.

Buy him a laptop and let him learn how to code cartoons, better , if he could stay awake for it then that's done determination that should be channeled to something useful
