My Dear Guardians,
I read that Michael Jackson's dad verbally abused him as a child, constantly calling him 'fat nose'.
This was a child who was suffering insecurity from his physical appearance already. He suffered Vitiligo and broken nose and was so obsessed with fixing his physical appearance later. No doubts, his problems were plenty.
I wish parents can understand the implications of their words in the life outcome of their children. Every word they speak into their children's lives is a seed which will germinate to produce fruits.
The words of Ben Carson's mum to him influenced his life outcome. She constantly told him, "you can achieve ANYTHING you set your mind to achieve. You can do it.
You see, the home is supposed to be a haven for the kids, some kids face abuse and humiliation in school and other places only to come home to face the same thing...Then you wonder why they turn out horrible.
Nigerian Parents, especially the Yoruba Tribe were I grew up can abuse to the Brim, even some seemingly harmless adjectives or nouns we give kids can mutilate their self esteem.
Orobo, Lekpa, Beskelemoske, blacky, black face, big head, big ears, rabbit ears, bow leg, Dwarf, big teeth, big breasts, crowded teeth, olodo(dullard) and what have you.... These stuffs aren't just funny!!!
Daddy n Mummy, Papa n Mama, Uncle n Aunty, Stop body shaming your kids or little children out there or use their deficiencies to mock them. In fact, you should pick a fight with anyone who does.
You should defend your children instead of joining forces with outsiders to rip their self-worth.
Your words can either make or break your child because Children never forgets how you made them feel.
This message is brought to you by a concerned Lover of Children.
