How can a child behave in this manner? This girl (name withheld) orchestrated her own kidnapping successfully with her boyfriend to extort money from her parents. This behaviour is certainly concerning and raises questions about the girl’s values and decision-making.
When the parents received the call that their daughter had been kidnapped and they demanded a ransom of N2 million naira, the parents pitied her and told the so-called kidnappers to keep her safe, being the only daughter of the family. The money was sent to the kidnappers in question without knowing that she faked her kidnap to get money from her parents. Imagine! If they were not caught, they would have planned for another higher demand.
Wonders shall never end. It sounds eccentric. She might have been practicing this attitude for quite some time now, without the parents noticing it. Similarly, let your children be under your watch. Be very close to them. Don’t intimidate them so that they can relate with you properly. There are some Television Stations you should restrict them from watching, know the calibre of friends your children are keeping because they are exposing them to bad behaviours.
Cautiously, the Bible says, spare the rod and spoil the child. If your child misbehaves, caution him/her, frown at the attitude and spank if possible. If you catch your child stealing, don’t say that he/she does not know anything yet, still a small child, he/she will repent when he/she grows up. Please, start now to teach the child when the child is young, educate them on what is good and bad so that they will not kill you or put you to shame later in life.
Parents and guardians play significant role in shaping their children's behavior and values. They should provide guidance, set clear boundaries, and encourage open communication to their children irrespective of their tight schedule.
It is also important to recognize that children and teenagers can be influenced by a range of factors, including their social environment, media consumption, and peer relationships. Being aware of these potential influences and taking steps to alleviate any negative effects can be an important part of parenting.
Conclusively, parents and guardians should take the upbringing of their children and ward seriously by guiding them in the fear of God so that when they grow up, they won’t depart from it or be a problem to the society as a whole.
