Bad Words From a 2 years old Child

My father already died but his discipline toward us his children still alive, I still remember how he disciplined us to become a better person in the future, I know his way for us to get disciplined was not recommended but I am still thankful because of those times, I was being able to learn and until now I can apply it to my daughter. 

But before anything else, I would like to take this opportunity to give my huge thanks to my Dearest SPONSORS, SUBSCRIBERS, UPVOTERS, FRIENDS, NEW FOUND FAMILY, LIKERS, READERS.. 

I am beyond blessed because I found you guys, so thank you so much. 

Check them out because they are all good writers 💚💚

As parents it's our obligation to discipline our child or children, it's our obligation to guide them into the right path, as parents we should be the one who will become a good role model to our children. 

I grew up with so much discipline from our father, one single mistake could lead us to being "pinapalo" or" binibitay ng patiwarik" (Hanging upside down), that is why I was always scared to commit a mistake. That was a brutal way of disciplining a child but I learned it ]n a possitive way, that is why I am thankful because for me, it was the reason and builds me up to become a better person right now.

Now that I am also a parent, a mother of a three years old daughter, what I want her to become is to be a good person in the future, as what my father told us every time he was disciplining us. 

I am not disciplining Sophia as what my father did to us, but I am just disciplined her in a proper way. 

According to John Locke In his brilliant 1689 work An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, advocated thinking of a child's mind as a Tabula Rosa or blank slate, and whatever comes into the child's mind comes from the environment. Locke emphasized that the environment is especially powerful in the child's early life because he considered the mind the most pliable then.

who reads the story of Lam-ang? When his mother gave birth to him, he was already talking and chose his own name. So we parents should fill the blank mind of that child. 

Albert Bandura's theory is called Social Cognitive Theory. The encompassing idea behind it is that children learn by observing the people around them, by being modeled to, and by imitating that modeling.

What is my reason why I am writing this ? 

I went to my cousin's house this afternoon because it was brown out again and again, so while we were talking about our individual lives the son of my cousin suddenly said "Put*ng Ina", my brows lift at that instant, there's a ring in my ears after hearing it. 

I was waiting for the mother to stop his son but she was only laughing about it, so the chat continued and the 2 years old son wanted to cuddle but his mother was busy talking, then the 2 years old son suddenly said " Put*ng Ina pesteng y*wa".

I was waiting for the mother again but still she was just laughing about it and told us what his son was learning and it was "Pesteng Y*wa, Buset, Put*ng ina, F*ck you, and G*go"  and she was just laughing all about it while being proud of what her son was learning. 

After hearing it I can't explain what to feel. I wanted to tell the son, my nephew, that it was bad but his mother just didn't care. Then what I noticed from the mother was after talking she was always saying those words also, so it came to my conclusion that his son was learning from her.

I am not a perfect mother to Sophia. I also made mistakes. I am not a saint but I know how to discipline my child properly, not the way our late father disciplined us.

In our house I banned all the bad words even the visitors since I don't want Sophia to hear it and learned it after, so when I hear it from the elders I would apologetically saying that "no bad words please because I have a 3 years old daughter and she might learned it" 

I am really proud of my daughter because when she was hearing such bad words from her play mates she always said that "It's bad, don't say it my mother would get angry" because I surely put into her mind at a very young age that I get mad whenever I hear bad words. 

I know time will come that my daughter will still hear it since I can't just let her stay at home the whole day, but atleast I let her know what is bad and not. 

This is me @Dawn_Dii , have a good day ahead 💚💚
