I usually keep Chinazaekpere busy with cocomelon sometimes when I'm busy and her siblings are in school.
She likes it and usually sing along with them.
However, there is something she does that pi**es me off.
Once an advert is showing, she would attempt pressing the result to get it off.
If it fails, she would throw the remote away.
I have taken away the remote control for a while but it repeats once she gets hold of it.
I have cautioned her a couple of times, fix the remote as it used to scatter sometimes and put the cocomelon back.
When i saw that she kept repeating it, i left the remote scattered and that was the end of her watching the TV.
She started playing with toys and brings the scattered remote parts time to time to see if i would fix it as usual.
I left it for a couple of days and she couldn't watch the TV.
That was me depriving her the privilege of watching her favorite cartoon so she could learn how to behave around the remote control.
When i eventually fixed it, she was super excited and never threw it away.
It's one of the ways i use in disciplining my kids.
Depriving you of a certain privilege to teach you a lesson.
A child that broke a TV, you b£at the child and buy another one the next day has a tendency of breaking it again.
But speak to that child to know that it's wrong and leave the child without a TV for a period of time.
When you eventually get another TV, the child would be more careful with it.
That's because the child has felt the absence of the TV for a period.
So long as it's not something a child has right to such as food, shelter, clothing and basic education, you can always withdraw it if it would make them learn.
Withdrawing certain privileges are very necessary is raising children.
Happy Sunday ❤️
