Adachii 🌸

I had conversations with my dad some time back about early education. I started daycare at 9 months. He said he wanted his wife to have time for herself, even though they didn’t have another child until three years later. He said I really enjoyed my childhood because there was a lot of money to spend, and I was the first child. I attended a private school far from the house, but it was worth it. I had a double promotion in primary school, a scholarship in junior secondary school, and a tutor who came home after school. My mom flogged me a lot to catch up. She would say, Them no born you well make you no sabi book with all this money wey me and your papa dey spend for your school, that book must enter oh. In senior secondary school, I still had a home tutor until I wrote WAEC, separate from the school WAEC lessons. There were also JAMB classes and a private mathematics teacher who came home in SS2/SS3. If you have money, spend it on your children’s education and let them have screen time. We only watched selected TV shows like The Johnsons for family bonding. Cartoons were selected, Lion King, Scooby-Doo, Tom & Jerry, The Incredibles, Toy Story, etc. No kissing or sexual scenes. I got a no-SIM Samsung Galaxy tablet at 13 for Games eg Candy Crush, Dress Up, Cooking Fever, and others. Now parents don’t discipline their kids or have family time. They just give phones. Nobody checks browsing history or calls teachers about grades and how the child is coping with the headmistress. Even after I got a real phone on my 18th birthday, they still checked my browsing history sometimes while I slept, and invited my only friend over to know her and talk to her parents. No body speaks pidgin at home, A lot more to say, but things are not the same now. That’s all I can say. Now when I see kids I just shake my head 😂 some characters I have seen ehh ….
