A video of a Kenyan schoolgirl in Nyeri who went on a drinking spree in school uniform has left many people angry and concerned over the kind of generation being raised.
However, there are concerns over the role of parents in making or breaking their children’s future.
Here are some of the mistakes parents do:
1. Allowing them to do what they want
Children need freedom. However, too much freedom is not good for your child. Do not allow your children to do anything they want. They need guidance all the time if you want them to be great achievers in future.
2. Being a bad example
The drunken girl said her mother is her role model and she comes home drunk. As such, she didn’t see anything wrong with her taking the same route of showing love for the bottle.
Be a good example for your children.
3. Be a disciplinarian Anything good comes with people being disciplined. Discipline means doing the right thing at the right time.
As such, do not be too lenient on your children that they can do whatever they wish.
Ensure that your child is respectful to elders and avoid doing shameful things in life. Those brought up before the 1980s always have stories of how mothers would send a message to their children through the eyes.
They received a type of look that had coded message.
