Parents, take charge in your children's behaviour
CHILDREN must be allowed to be children and behave as such. No child must be forced to behave in a manner orlder than his/her age. But the question raising eyebrows remains: "Who is responsible in monitoring all those behaviors of the children? Whose responsibility is to channel the child's future?" As much as these Children are behaving as they should, they also have responsibility to behave well. Parents are left with more work to ensure that the good behaviour that is expected from the children is in deed at work. Parents must take charge of their children's behaviour.
Recently the country (South Africa) experienced shocking actions coming from young children, mostly school children. Bullying and Gangsterism were seen as the two in the centre stage. However, Social Media exposed most of the actions as these children films whatever they are doing.
Several school children were suspended from different schools in the country due to their behavior while others were arrested for murder and assaults. This includes school children assaulting their own teachers who are regarded as their second parents. The most shocking incident was when a 28-year-old man Thoriso Themane from Flora Park in Polokwane was killed by Gang groups consisted of school children aged between 13-15. These children were found to be schooling in different schools in Polokwane.
Although these minor's behaviour was condemned by the society, the question remains: "What are we doing as parents to ensure that we raise well behaved children? Do we as parents play our part in our children's lives? Do we monitor their social life and study the behaviour of their friends?"
The society is raising criminals and that will contribute in the country's future being robbed. Criminal elements are becoming a norm and in some parts of the country people are OK with it. They see no wrong while some look away when such elements raises their ugly heads. It is time this country's men and women stand against such elements.
