Topic: Who tied the Teacher's Hands?

Hope grace and mercy find you.

In this discussion we would be looking at the topic : Who tied the Teacher's Hands?

Most of the things we use to do in schools such as hitting, spanking,  caning, etc have all been banned in Ghanaian schools. 

This situation has left most teachers handicapped when it comes to training children. 

Some believe that their hands have been tied and therefore cannot do anything. So it is a common sight these days to see children with long nails, overgrown hair, bleached skin, sexy school uniforms, etc.  

But, can we blame the teachers? May be yes. But, I think it's No.  

Yes because, at least to the best of my knowledge every school has at least a copy (Soft copy/Hard Copy) of Positive Discipline Tools designed by the Guidance and Counseling Division of the Ghana Education Service. 

But, No because most teachers have little or No information on the Positive Discipline Tools. 

Children need to be trained, coached and mentored.

Today's child is totally different from yesterday's child. Our punishment and corrections strategy must also change to meet the 21st Century training needs of our children. 

We, must not sit and watch these kids deteriorate. Get a copy of the Positive Discipline Tools from your Headteacher or School Improvement Support Officer, or the District Guidance and Counseling Coordinator to abreast yourself with modern and tested correction and punishment strategies for the 21st Century Child.

Thank you.

Parenting 1.0 - AminuWritesTv

#AminuWritesDailyBroadcast.

Date: Tuesday, 16th March, 2021.

Topic: Parenting 1.0

Hope grace and mercy find you.

In this discussion we would be looking at another episode of parenting. 

We must abreast ourselves with certain skills and experience to train the 21st Century Child.

We cannot continue to train and nurture today's generation the way we were taught. 

The Rod today may not be the same Rod we were trained with. Today's Rod may be kind words, Positive Discipline Tools, etc. 

We must brace ourselves for the task ahead. The task ahead is uncertain. But, I can guarantee you this - your children would blow your mind. 

Everything is changing and would continue to change. Society today does not see punishment as an exercise of inflicting pain on children. 

They see punishment as a corrective mechanism bucked by love, compassion, kind words and examplary life. 

We cannot behave in a certain way and expect our children to behave the other way. Those days of do as I say and Not What I do is gone forever.

We must not loose sight of the fact that what today's child can do, yesterday's child has no idea. 

Let us continue to learn modern ways of parenting whiles we say good bye to archaic and antiquated parenting techniques that we have grown to learn. 

Read the following extract on the UN Convention on the Rights of Children. 

The Convention recognizes that parents have the primaryr role in bringing up children. Parents are their children’s most important teachers, role models and guides. But parents are not their children’s owners. Human rights principles guarantee that no person may be the property of another.

Thank you.
