Are you sure some of us are not mad in this country?
At times, I really think some of us in this country have lost it. We do certain things that makes one think some people require the religious services of a psychiatrist. I have seen people do very horrible things in the name of correction or punishment. I have seen fathers leave horrible marks on their kids all in the name of correction. Mothers have left their children with a permanent disability all in the same name of correction.
However, what happened or what I saw today actually inspired this post. I was just going through my twitter feeds today when I saw a tweet with pictures about a mum damaging her daughter’s hand. This mother burnt her daughter’s hand with hot water because she was sucking her finger(s). When I saw this tweet I got really angry, we can’t even differentiate between abuse and punishment again, are we sure some of us are not mad?
It was when I saw this tweet that I asked this question which I deliberately selected to be topic for today. Sincerely, a lot of us in this country need regular visits to a psychiatrist. We do barbaric things in the name of God knows what.
If you didn’t see the picture well because of the tweet, check this out:
This is not good, evil is too light a word to describe this barbaric act! She damaged her daughter’s hand all in the name of correction. Just because a child is sucking her fingers, you think this is the best way to correct her. This thing happens to children, they eventually outgrow it. I sucked my fingers well and my mum or dad didn’t kill me, I eventually outgrew it. Majority, if not all of us, sucked our fingers too while growing up. If they don’t adhere to instructions, very soon they will become ashamed and they will definitely drop it. Some parents are actually frustrated and under immense pressure and they will use every opportunity to pour their frustration on anyone, even their own children.
We need to find a balance between abuse and correction, some people abuse their children and they think they are correcting them. Your kids are abused at home, they get to school and they are bullied again. They start keeping to themselves and in future it could become disastrous.
I believe the way a child is brought is very important and parents should be very sensitive and be as careful as possible while correcting a child. Stop abusing your children in the name of correction. I am not a fan of spoiling your children, I like disciplined children but there is balance, find it!
Please read, recommend and share.
