Being A Parent Is A Menace Unless With Due Responsibilities -By Abubakar Muhammad Usman

The most common problem of becoming a parent randomly without any readiness, as of today, is that most of the parents fail in meeting the needs of their children, leaving them in the dungeon of hunger causing them to suffer along making the meaningful thoughts in building their personal views on how to become better ones. Along their starvation, none of goodness on becoming will be instilled in them but a way forward to quench their thirsty souls will be their priority instead.

Parents and parenting in Africa

‎Today’s couples often give birth while forgetting their stand on how to be real parents, despite the fact that so many reasons behind children training has become the most herculean task for uncountable parents to discharge due to the current economical hardship and societal puzzlement.

‎The most common problem of becoming a parent randomly without any readiness, as of today, is that most of the parents fail in meeting the needs of their children, leaving them in the dungeon of hunger causing them to suffer along making the meaningful thoughts in building their personal views on how to become better ones. Along their starvation, none of goodness on becoming will be instilled in them but a way forward to quench their thirsty souls will be their priority instead. Having a lot of shortages in personal needs and wants leads many starving children in becoming the menace to our societies through pushing them in stealth, thuggery with an intention to meetup their needs which later transforms them to be addicted to the aforementioned misdeeds.

‎Also, in children training, their is a societal puzzlement, reshape of our societal behaviours due to the technical, environmental and political impacts. With the current updates of technical devices like phones, speakers (MP3s) many children lost their self-control when misuse or onw them at early ages. And, environmental impact aids in changing children through teaching them different behaviours when parents fail in act of surveillance towards their children movements. Where they might possibly meetup unwanted friends or get to be used by some gays. While children starve along the roads, they often get involved in political thuggery by some political shenanigans leading them to total loss of their value in one way or the other. Despite the fact that parents try harder in reshaping the behaviours of the lost children, it is unfortunate for parents to fail in controlling their children and put them through the means of how they can think of their responsibility and even be self-reliants, but they undergo deviants despite being the parents present.

‎Having seeing how easily children training blocks the possibility of upbringing the new version of youths our dear nation will extremely rely on to rebuild the missing and bring up the new dreams of forefathers, there is a need for parents to make a rapid response through standing still. Parents should firstly consider family planning by then, any of them will give birth to some limited number of children that can be controlled through giving them enough food, knowledge, shelter, whereby their dependency will remain under their parents. Also, parents should consider engaging their children, from childhood, into some workshops for them to be busy, that will help them in personal development in terms of self-reliance and lead them to know how to behave and interact with some ones since childhood. Parental care is the most herculean task to discharge, but in addition, parents should also get to know the situation their children face through having a sensitive discussions with them in homes. This will give them an opportunity to tell their parents what kind of challenges they are struggling with either at schools, workshops or with common people, then parents should take any possible solutions before their minds push them towards any other misconduct.

‎In taking the necessary solutions to parental mistakes, there will be a nation full of responsible youths with positive dreams towards bringing up the same radical changes as the best outcome of societal development. Therefore, children are menace unless parents have zeal in training them to instill in them the perfection of how to improve their personality and their societal values.

Abubakar Muhammad Usman writes from Funakaye, Gombe State, Nigeria.
