INFRONT OF THE BOY CHILD
Bad behavior like getting drunk, mistreating the boy’s mother knowing very well how the boy child is attached to their mothers, using vulgar language in front of the boy is a very bad mistake. So the mother thinks to herself, my boy is taking alcohol, for example, but how do I solve this since the father has the same behavior? Another example is when a preacher raises his children in church, but when they grow up they refuse anything to do with religion. It is because the parents did not set a good example for their children to follow. Maybe they were preaching water and taking wine as the saying goes. A child observes and learns from even the smallest of actions. To confirm this, just try a new simple behavior before a child and you will find them emulating you. They watch every behavior in detail and then they practice what they have learnt when they grow up.
iv. LACK OF MENTORSHIP
There is no mentorship of the boy child because they are thought to be strong. People think that they don’t need any guidance and been taken care of. For example a girl child is given so much advice such as what time to get to get home, not to play with boys, and so on because they are thought of as vulnerable, but the boy is not given any kind of advice. A boy is even told that they should be strong and they are not supposed to cry, so they hamper all the pain inside only for it to be a problem when they become grownups, some of them becoming drunkards because they don’t know the way forward. There should be programs in school for counseling boys in school, just like the way girls are counseled. Elders should also go back to the olden days where they used to counsel the boys and start doing it again. Their mentorship is very valuable.
CONCLUSION
Truth is the boy child is lost, they don’t know what is expected of them, neither do they know what their responsibilities are. A boy child becomes a man and a father when they grow up. So if we take good care of them, we are taking care of their future. Let us raise brave and responsible boys and they will provide security for their families in future and raise up responsible boys as well.
