Imagine for once the state of despair, typically one which results in rash or extreme behaviour staged by a desperate parent before his/her child during an attack in this Cameroon Anglophone crisis. Children often look up to their parents as imaginary or better still mythical being of human form but superhuman in size.
I share with the pain and frustration of anglophoe parents who because of the crisis are living with the feeling of being upset or annoyed as a result of being unable to change or achieve protection for their children. (Dr. Seuss, writer and a cartoonist quote)
"To the world you may be one person; but to one person you may be the world"
Who should a child really turn to when the chips are down?
As children compare themselves with their peers, they who are proud of their parents see that there is something honourable about how their parents behave and what they have done for them. Their parents have taught them through their actions, reactions, responses, and attitudes towards others and situations.
What then do you expect when you torture a parent before his/her child?
How will you react or feel if you see your parents (your hero) frightened and desperate, not knowing whether to run left or right in a situation like this?
When a parent appears before his/her child with such a despair, then the child is bound to pay little or no respect to state values. Children who lack self-respect simply don't care about themselves or anyone else. They're less likely to do harmful things, they make good choices known to them, and they tend to act in ways that are in their own best interests.
The peace the society enjoys, starts from the home governed by parents. #Cameroon should pay meaningful attention to these class of governors who are today in the bushes. #Notoviolence #Peaceispossible
