Be mindful of what you say to kids (#110).
What my eyes or ears see and hear this week was not surprising at all because I was expecting that to happen.
But it will sound strange to many people, especially the age of the child, you are not expecting such a child to say or do such a thing.
But I want people who are fun of such acts should stop, Children, learn from want to they see and want them hear very fast.
At the start of this year, 2022 a young man has a nice family with two kids, a boy and a girl coming to our community.
And this man comes to be my nearby neighbour, he goes out every day to work and comes back in the evening.
There was this other neighbour whose kid was very vibrant, whatsoever he hear or see he can talk.
This small boy is very nice to have fun with, whenever he sees you, he will run toward you and start playing at once.
When this new neighbour comes into our community he turns out to like this boy, he plays with him too anytime he sees him.
Every time I play with this young boy I make sure of any word or anything I do will not go out of track.
But funnily this new neighbour doesn't know the type of kid he was joking with, he says anything he wants to say to the boy.
Every time he comes from work, he will stay from a far distance shouting the name of the boy saying (shut up).
He used to tell this boy anytime he sees to "shut up", I always seat at my usual corner watching everything, the good part of it was many times I witness the act.
There was a time when he was about to see his friends off who came to visit him and they pass by this boy's house.
Since he used to play with this boy he decided to call him, he shouts his name, the boy replies (2× shut up).
Everyone was shocked but I was not shocked because I know such a thing will one day happen.
Please parents, neighbors, friends, uncles, aunties etc.
I am beginning, you all should know what to say or do when a child is around you.
Most kids learn bad things fast more than how they learn the good things.
Be safe and have a blessed weekend.
