There is an English saying that goes, spare the rod and spoil the child. In the olden days most people and mostly in schools in the African continent were really canning the scholars stokes of canes for the sake of punishments. So do you people use the same strategy for disciplining of the children?

In the UK, if you have children you either have to pay for their school meals if you work and receive a certain amount but if you don't make a lot and have a low income, you are eligible for your child to have free school meals at school. With the rising inflation and the cost of living being...

I always hear opinions about how people feel children watch too much television and how they should do other things during that time rather than waste it watching television. I always used to allow my children to watch television and I never saw an issue with it as a lot of the time, they...

Pocket money is something many parents give their kids for completing chores or as a reward for doing well in school or maybe for other reasons. I have known many people to give their kids pocket money just because and even if they have misbehaved or not done what they were asked they will...

Nowadays, I see children as young as four or five years old with a mobile phone and whilst I can understand why their parents would have bought them one due to the games that can be played on the device, I feel four or five years old is way too young to have their own mobile phone. I have...

I am always hearing about how people would like to see some kind of restrictions put in place to prevent children from getting hold of so much junk food but nothing ever really does end up being put in place. As much as I am someone who believes that children should not be given too much junk...

As much as I am all for children learning about politics and being made aware of politics, something I am against is when teachers try and push their preferences in terms of parties or political members in a bid to try and sway a child to support a party or person they do. I believe that...

I don't know what it is like for children in other countries but here in the UK, you will be surprised at how many youngsters below the age of 16 are wandering the streets late at night and sometimes even early hours of the morning. At the moment I don't believe there is any kind of curfew in...

At the moment, getting your child vaccinated against deadly diseases is advised but it is not compulsory which means a lot of parents tend to refuse to get their children vaccinated, and that then causes issues and possibly even deaths that could have been avoided due to them refusing. Do you...

So something my youngest who is 13 mentioned to me the other day was "Can we get paid to go to school?" and my answer was no as that is exactly the case, you can not get paid to go to school and it is the law to go to school. His question however did get me thinking, with so many kids that do...

Something I always remember very well when I was in school is how much homework I got each day. After spending all day at school, the one thing I wanted to do was be able to chill out at home and relax ready for the next day but I always found that I had homework to complete so that was never a...

What are your thoughts? I'm a strict NO.
