Do Children Grow Faster, Learn Too Much and Act More Adult Than Their Age? What Parents Ought To Know

Children Learn Too Much and Act More Adult Than Their Age  

'Listen to them talking and you will notice how much they know what they are not supposed to know.'

Nowadays, our children are free to watch whatever they want, why? We are never at home hence none really takes care of their vision and controls what they watch on TV, movies and even play video games. Our children are good friends for kids whose parents are don't-care-like hence accessing materials meant for adult audiences and on the list goes.

As parents struggle to keep up with technology and other stuff, some children are already practicing what they see. They would then pass on the info to those willing to listen, or innocently say something that hints of what they like doing when no one is watching.

Such kids are all over, ranging from as young as 5 years and on. These kids know a lot: from adult language to actual things adults do--- and yes! Willingness to teach others how the 'act' should be done.

Where did the society go wrong? A few days ago, one kid-- about 8 years old boy--, was heard saying 'Nataka kumshika yule manzi cha nguvu (I want to rape that girl.) Yep! His face showed he was serious about it. Ad given the chance he could have attempted his desires.

It hurts to know that most children who are going astray are the most loved kids. The boy in an example above is a notorious child whose mother would do anything to keep him safe, from blame, and from anything negative. The mother knows that her child needs serious help, but because of love she is not willing to let him helped.

Too much of something is poisonous, yes! Parents need to understand the limits of love. Love itself is not bad. It creates the basis of good family and understanding of the community as whole. However, if we let our feelings drive us we may be doing more harm than good to our children.
