Living in Lagos: I Should Have Known Better, it’s Nothing To Hide Anymore!

[@la_mignonne.]

I'm a soon to be mum, and trust me, I have been blessed by this video. I will not lose my children to technology. Thank you, Boma.

Bona, you are spot on. Parenting has to be intentional if you want your children to excel. My daughter is now 33 years and from inside the womb, I would sing nursery rhymes, choruses from church to her. Bedtime from the day I delivered was spent reading both Bible and other childhood stories to her. When she started attending day care at 18 months, she did not realise she was still a baby herself, she was talking clearly, asking to help look after younger babies. I still remember vividly, the day I went to pick her up, the staff showed me a jigsaw puzzle of 300 pieces that she completed without any assistance. When she moved over to proper nursery school, she could write three letter words while older children were scribbling. Her reading age at Primary Two was that of a Form Two (secondary) student. Her secondary school library could not keep up with books that satisfy her curiosity. As a child, my mother taught me so much through what I now see was intentional, but fun. Holiday time, we would make brooms from the palm fronds, learn to make homemade Vim with crushed eggshells. I had library excursions, I read and still read books, etc. Do not talk to babies with babbling, give them real words from day one. They will thank you later on in life.

You've said it all Mama... Mummy instinct is powerful. My 1year old does a lot of amazing things because less screen time and more physical creative play time. My 5year is the youngest in his class and always top (to the glory of God) because despite having a tab... He knows when he should pick it up, and he knows when he should drop it. It was a lot of hard work, patience and prayers. Thank you for the values you dish out in this channel.

[@LuvlyGift]

Frequent communication and less screen time is the best way to help our children. I’ve learnt a lot from my daughter and it take been intentional to really get them to the next level

[@bomsysspot]

Thanks for sharing this baby cakes. Godbless you ♥️

[@iifyvee]

Thank you for always sharing helpful tips! My husband and I already have a solid agreement on our kids using tabs. Even if it’s a gift, they’re not going to use it. Slowly, human interaction is fazing out, kids no longer read so key books like we did while growing up. Phones have adults on chokehold,how much more kids! I’m really learning and may God help us! Thank you,Boma ❤

Kaima is the chief controller of that pantry 😂😂😂. May God teach us to be intentional in parenting and guide us to lead our wards right Amen! Digital software does more harm than good not only for kids but even adults.

[@bomsysspot]

I agree when you say for even adults, because when you even press your phone for so long, the brain becomes redundant. Thanks sis for your contribution ❤

[@nancyelonga7519]

Thank you for sharing Bomsy. As someone who is yet to have children I am learning so much from this vlog; I see a lot of my nieces and nephews go through some of the challenges Kaito had. I think there is also a lot of learning in cartoons and technology really but with this manipulated and distorted world we need to be very careful. Also, this technology and cartoons are going no where, they will have plenty of time to catch up and like Bomsy said, 0-5 years is better to fill it up with one-on-one interactions instead. You cannot replace parent attention, listening, care, talks with iPad because you will lose your child’s growth and the aspects that they need you the most. ❤❤❤ Seriously Bomsy, thank you for this, very insightful!

[@bomsysspot]

@@nancyelonga7519 thank you for this insightful comment sis. I appreciate you so much ♥️

[@annan4368]

My daughter didn’t start school till 2 however I was guilty of screen time. But when she started her school advised read more to her to improve her vocabulary plus I got her a virtual lesson teacher this year (she’s 4 ) I try to limit screen time especially infact this holiday when we’re home and I ensure we are outside (tho I’m working from home. ) to avoid being tempted to use screen time to compensate while working and tending to a newborn, she goes to summer camp 3 times a week (no screen time , creative play , they even take her to church to teach her about donations to the less privilege. I know I need to do more with my children but your videos keeps me going (yes prayers more importantly)

[@momoftheJohnson4]

I’m a mom of 4 ages 21,20,10,1 and trust me you do learn from the previous child. My baby is a few months older than yours and one thing I do know is not compare them bc they will learn at their own pace. What you’re saying is what me and my husband was just saying that when we were growing up how did our parents did it. We also talk to our kids not baby talk. My babies have all talked, walked, and was potty trained before they were 1thats bc we take out that time. Being a parent isn’t easy but we’re doing the best job with what we have, but one thing I know I’m focusing on is teaching my babies about God and not wait til they grow up. Good video❤

[@bomsysspot]

This is such a beautiful comment, well done mama and Godbless you! Yes catch them while young and teach them about God, it would not depart from them ❤
