Abroad schools makes me wonder sometimes.๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
So, in Nigeria where I come from, teachers would try their best to ensure that kids finish up their food and water or at least eat more than half of it.
My brotherโs wife is a teacher and I was speaking to her the other day and she was telling one of her pupils that if you donโt finish your food and your water, you wonโt go home and you wonโt be a good boy. Omoooo, while I was on that call, this child finished his food and water. Here in the abroad, itโs not the same. If you even tell a child that kind of thing itโs like youโre threatening the child. Here they say they donโt force children to do what they donโt want to do. I just feel itโs wrong. In Nigeria, children are afraid of their teachers not because they h!t them or anything but somehow it works. If a child refuses to do things at home, just tell them you will report them to their teacher and boom, they would do that thing but here???? Efiaaaaaaaa!!!! They wonโt encourage them to eat but when they donโt eat, they see it as โeating disorderโ๐คฆ๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐ฝโโ๏ธ not every child likes to eat and all they need is a little push and support. My family said I didnโt like eating as a child but ha na force m aforce. My baby brother Emiii was the same. We used every strategy including singing, dancing, meat and everything possible and today, we are foodies. Make dem leave us to train our children the way that works for us oh. Baby B has never been that eating child but as a baby, I made sure she ate hence she was chubby it now that sheโs bigger that I canโt have her hand behind my back and legs inbetween my laps anymore so all I do is talk until she eats no matter how little. Sometimes I wish she eats effortlessly without all of these. But then, Lion no Dey born goat. Sheโs her fatherโs daughter. He doesnโt like food and DNA Dey involved na๐๐๐๐
I realised that she eats what she makes herself or what she assisted me to make which is why Iโm making plans to involve her in more cooking once we get a new place. She loves the kitchen a lot and I canโt wait to see her break records like Hilda someday ๐๐๐๐
Please, you people shou advice me on how you get your kids to eat because ikeagwula m
