Don't Blame The Child, Blame The Parents - Tope Reacts To 13-yr-old Abandoned By UK Parents

[@ritalinus5097]

I learned something today as a mother with 5 kids in diaspora. Thanks ladies.

[@DominicaTraditionalWear]

Each child is born with his/her character. That is a fact. Parents need to study the characters of each child and adapt parenting accordingly. This crave to work 2,3 jobs by parents to provide material things is often very detrimental to nurturing children . A happy medium must be found. At the same time children must obey parents whilst at home, until they find there own accommodation.

[@olufemiogunba6875]

Tope is really on point. Parenting is hard work. For real

[@user-ug1sl3xy9r]

Thousands of Ghanaians and Nigerians who reside abroad have always brought their ill mannered kids to either Ghana or Nigerian. It is not abandonment it is called saving your future.

I think we should be calmer and less aggressive in passing our points. Talking so fast and raising our voices is becoming a regular on this favourite programme of mine.

[@aminatsalau8145]

I love Tope's view

[@makay8890]

There is need for a paradigm shift towards the change in all children nowadays. Parents should take note to avoid loosing their grip of parenthood in the life of their wards.

[@ativiejonathan3705]

The only way to safe some children is change their environment.

[@sadonix6303]

The family system in the UK is screwed. Pls send them to boarding school in Nigeria for respect and discipline.

[@Yummymummyspace]

I think the parents has been using Nigeria to threaten the kid anytime he does something wrong..i am a diaspora mum I tell my kids about some many beautiful things in Nigeria if you know how much Dey want to come to Nigeria tinubu self will dash me money 😂😂😂😂

[@patiencemugero3585]

The team discussing has a different set up in Nigeria than in London....

[@Chorlsz]

The minimum to expect from a child is obedience. I think discussion about applying different methods for different child might apply on another pedestal. And to a large extent I agree with Tope that you cannot blame a child because it depends on how you have brought the child up from age 1 through to 13, however this too is not a 100% guarantee and that's why exists a clause called "peer pressure" syndrome and adolescence.

[@dorahokunbor9934]

Give thanks to God for your obedient children.some will listen and deliberately disobey I can not blame the parents except i hear from them

[@mercmarcus1396]

Parents are also shifting responsibility to the school to take care of their child, which creates a distancing in emotions and other things towards the parent and family

[@mercmarcus1396]

The ladies in the black and green are the most logical in the situation each child is different, and you should learn your children and how they act or react to things in life

[@ebydiemon4019]

Tope made her point calmly and succintly. Beecee has to make effort not to shout and scream when making her good points. It is unladylike to sound so aggresive just talking to the other ladies on the table. She sounds and acts like she is about to fight them😂😂😂

[@oluwaseyiomotosho3386]

That’s exactly what I love about Beecee, that’s her personality and it makes her uniquely different from others 😊

[@wandelaw]

@@oluwaseyiomotosho3386 ...and she somewhat apologized at the beginning. Meanwhile, she once talked about the root cause of her high-pitched voice. So, my people, bear with her.

[@amemalabo3598]

African parents never observed nothing

[@Helen-k6t8z]

From 16yrs, every child should be allowed to do you especially in dressing. This helps them discover themselves theen at 18yrs they will get used to doing their things but guidance is very necessary. If they are to wear a cloth because i5 is the standard, let them know why.

[@destinydeliveranceministry9551]

This is why I don’t take women like these serious

[@adenikeA6871]

I know my 16 year old told me he doesn’t have to iron his shirt because nobody cares

[@corneliamaposa3146]

My son told me too

[@patiencemugero3585]

Emotionally harm ....imagine trying to learn culture and language and people laughing at his tone

[@afeomotola2555]

Sometimes applying different methods for kids does not work for every family My parents has 4 of us and I use to think they loved me less because what they can’t force on others, they force it on me because I was the first and the quiet one so I am supposed to lead by example Therefore I am to do the most in the house 😏 Now we all are grown I now realize that the training they gave the two stubborn ones we got, cause more harm than good👌 Most times general rules are better Do not treat anyone differently 👌 Do not make anyone more privileged than the other Anyone that breaks the rule should be punished accordingly 👌

[@jessedivine9496]

U guys call this program "your view," but u hardly give people time to give their views. U're very quick to cut off callers, Morayo is huge on this. A caller is actually fortunate if allowed to talk for 2 whole minutes. U lot are more interested in listening to yourselves rather than what the public has to say. Please revisit and review your method👎🏾.

[@Blessing-m5m]

You all are fools

[@blessingajibade8951]

You too dear

Is everything okay at home??
