This video is the perfect reality check against social media perfection... Beating a child for refusing to cooperate with a birthday shoot is pure madness... Hitting them doesn't fix the mood needed for the shoot so why????
You have to be incredibly dense to think violence solves a toddler's tantrum... A rational adult uses patience, snacks, and videos to calm a kid down...
The photographer is an accomplice too… When you are hired for a kids' shoot, you control the set and you don't tolerate abuse in your studio…
WE NEED TO UNLEARN BEATING KIDS, IT'S ABUSE…
@instablog9ja Why do people without kids feel like they can have strong opinions about raising a child to people who are already raising their children.
i’m a big fan of reciprocation. you reach out, i reach out. you’re distant, i’m distant. you check on me, i check on you. you’re inconsistent, i’m inconsistent. you spoil me, i’m gonna spoil you. i deal with people exactly how they deal with me. nothing more, nothing less.
When we are ready, we will face the honest truth about why we like to champion the parts of our “culture” that require the subservience of younger & less privileged people.
Nigerians are raised to obey, not to think. At home, questioning your parents gets you beaten. In school, questioning teachers is seen as disrespect. At work, questioning your boss is insubordination. In religion, questioning leaders is rebellion. Fear is drilled into us from childhood.
This is the reason so many men self sabotage when they do find a woman who mirrors healthy relational patterns and open and honest communication. When somebody has never had something healthy modelled to them, they’ll view everything through the lens of toxicity that they’ve known. A woman wanting to genuinely talk things through for resolve, will simply be seen as ‘nagging’ or ‘refusing to move on’.
Slowly, we continue to throw social skills away but later in the future, we'll complain about the consequences of our today's negligence. Anyway, I'm a very patient man. I'll be here to see where we're heading for 🤣
