Child discrimination

This has been an issue of concern in many homes without knowing how to go about it. This has cause strife, hatred and bitterness among many siblings because the parent tends to favour one than the other. Join me as I share my own point of view with you.

To me child discrimination is also the same as child abuse because it ruin such child's self esteem it makes him or her look inferior among his or her peers. Although favouritism can be in the home that is differences on how the parent treat a child from the other but you shouldn't let it so obvious that the other children will notice and start nursing hatred in their mind towards the favoured child. Each child has his or her own peculiarity and they should be treated according to their peculiarity. You can't expect all the children to be the same in fact all children can never be the same in thought, reasoning, intelligence, physique, morals and any other characteristics that qualifies the favoured child. Twins which were given birth to on the same day don't have the same characteristics talkless of the ones they gave birth to differently.

There are some kids that are naturally brilliant while there are some you have to teach and teach and teach with the help of cane before they can understand what you want them to learn. We have fast learners that without mentioning it to them they already know what to do and also we have slow learners. I will give you an example, while growing up I am a fast learner though I pick up things easily so it made it easy for my mum to put me through stuffs then came my younger sister haaaaaa😮😮😮😮 she is extra slow when it comes to learning so that bothers my parents alot. During her secondary school days I can remember how my dad will cane her just for her to read and assimilate it was a tough journey though but she scale through, she is doing well now and improved more than my imagination. My parents never showed her any sign of discrimination just because she is a slow learner instead they encouraged her on daily basis to build the confidence in her and make her a better person.

During those times I never made fun of her nor criticise her instead I joined in the training to help her understand quickly and to make her see she is not alone in the journey and today she is a big girl with extremely big vibes, she had forgotten she was once beaten because she was unable to read simple sentences. If I have neglected her then and show any sign that am being favoured than her maybe we wouldn't have been this close today. Lots of people out there called us twin because we are almost the same height, we plait the same hair style, wear the same cloth and always gat each other's back.

In conclusion

You don't have to discriminate, you don't have to divide your children all because one is a little bit different from the others. My baby sister today that's our last born can imitate what you just did in no second, she picks things easily, she is a fast learner, smart, beautiful any good thing you can call her as young as she is and we all pamper her and make the elder ones jealous not to despise them but just because she is the baby of the house. Don't create enmity amidst your children instead encourage them all and strike a good balance between them so as to keep them close in order to give you peace of mind.

I hope you enjoy reading this and I will be expecting your comments in my box. Enjoyyy.
