Do It Or Face The Consequence!
Dear Parents, it is your responsibility to train your kids in the way they should go. Gone are those days when we used to believe that a child's character education is only the parent's responsibility but now your child's teachers, your nannies, and domestic workers play a very crucial role in your kid's character molding.
I walked into this beautiful and well-decorated restaurant in the city of Uyo during the Christmas holiday. One thing that attracted me to that place was the beautiful state-of-the-art decors and green lounge and the fact that I could actually plug my PC while waiting for my order. So I walked in and sat down.
I went through their menu and asked for my favorite plate of "Afang" but then most of the tables were occupied and the only socket I could find was beside a table on which a chubby and dark young boy of about 6 years old sat.
Then with a smile on my face, I asked him politely to excuse me to join him so I could plug my PC as well. I was so nice and friendly but to my greatest shock and surprise, he said "No' I am watching a movie on my iPad. Oh wow, I was surprised tho so I decided to act along.
In my mind, I said nah this kind pikin' I deh like teach a lesson to🤣😊you think say I don come dis far, see me see socket weh I wan plug my laptop use, you come deh do petty for me.
I told him well I'm so sorry but I have to move the table closer to the socket, don't worry I can move you closer so you can continue your movie!.. as I expected, he still said no. So I didn't wait for him to say it the third time, I moved him and the table together close to the socket, sat down, plugged my PC, and ordered a chilled drink and chicken as an appetizer🤣, it's not easy to win a battle with a kid.
And then he said to me, "But I do not have anything to drink too' and I said to him " OKAY??? So what do you care for and he said I want coke". So I asked the kitchen assistant to please serve him a bottle of coke and add it to my bills.
It took long for the drink to be served so he started yelling at the assistant to bring his drink and in his words, he said "What's everyone doing nau, bring my drink nau haba somebody get me my frink nau🤣🤣🤣I couldn't help but to laugh within myself.
So the drink was served finally but he didn't even say thank you till he left with his mum who was inside the kitchen discussing with the manager. I understood perfectly that that's how children behave sometimes so I wasn't offended in any way.
But then something came to my mind, I mean if this boy is allowed to grow up with such a nasty attitude, it will be worse. A bad attitude of not being nice to people even to a stranger just me, an attitude of not saying thank you after receiving an offer, an attitude of asking for stuff from strangers, an attitude of yelling at others if his needs are not met on time, and much more.
Parents, when I say bring money lemme train your domestic workers and caregivers before sending them to you, you'll be thinking that I just want to chop your money and that I'll become a billionaire🤣🤣🤣, did you see that?
Maybe you do not have the time to look at what your kids are doing and the attitude they've developed over time, trust me the closest persons to your kids are your houseworkers and teachers in school.
So why not take the pain off your ass and save yourself the disaster that will befall you later if your kids are not well groomed by sending your domestic staff and kids to our training center at 59 Edet Akpan Avenue uyo to be trained on character education by well seasoned and experienced tutors.
