An article today ran on the Daily Nation concerning how ‘loving’ today’s parents are even in front of their children as young as 2yrs old.The article details of a parent who was called by the headmistress to her son’s school only to be told that her child was caught making out with a classmate in the school’s playground.So, where did he learn this?
On further investigations, the child revealed that while playing at a neighbours house,with his friend,they peeped into the parents bedroom whose door was partially open and noticed yeah…the couples session.Sad as it is,this is just but a reflection of how far our society has gone..in terms of morals and parenting..back in the days,if a girl even showed her pants to the boys, she would face the wrath of her mother.
Parents and older persons have a critical role to play in showing guidance to the younger generation.When Pastor Allan and Kathy Kiuna of JCC were asked whether parents need to be luvy duvy in front of kids, they said OK.that a display of affection is healthy for children, since it makes them feel secure in the knowledge that their parents love each other.
Well,they maybe right but the question is to what extent,should kids know and see love? the verdict is yours..but know that today’s generation learn a lot at a very early age…i mean a kid of 2yrs knows a lot about intimacy thanks to media-tv,radio,magazines,music,newspapers etc.So, who will teach the child?
