Child Behaviour
you can't blame your Parents or the government
your life was created by your choices
yet how does fate play it's part
are you saying
parents have no effect on child development
Are you saying that teachers have no effect
on child development or is it just an excuse,
for people to escape responsibility
It's not your fault it's just his nature
you can't blame the parents
you can't blame the Government
he has attention deficit disorder
You can't blame the parents
you can't blame the Government
the child life is created by their choices
yet their is some truth to this argument
A child starts avoiding school
because the child chooses to avoid school
perhaps the child is getting picked on by bullies
perhaps the child can't keep up with the teachers
writing on the blackboard
perhaps they can't do their homework
because they can't understand their notes
and going back to school without homework
They get told off day after day
so the child starts avoiding school
perhaps their parents arguing
means the child can't concentrate
perhaps they give up on studying
because other children call them a nerd
perhaps they become scared of school
because of the violence from other children
perhaps they avoid school because
they just want to have fun
laughing and giggling
fun and games with other children
Granted sometimes it is about choices
sometimes the child is just naughty
sometimes it is the child's fault
I'm just saying
there are many reasons for behaviour
one child will avoid school to avoid bullying
one child will avoid school just because they can
sometimes it can be a mixture of both
Sometimes we are so ready to lay blame
we don't take the time to listen
ever thought the child avoiding school
might have a eyesight problem
and not be able to keep up with notes
taken from a blackboard
not be able to get home work done
and begin to hate school
because of criticism and punishment
from the teachers.
Instead of making blankets statements
to cover behaviour
Perhaps we should take the time to listen
each child can have a different reason
for the same behaviour
some are avoiding bullying
some are just being naughty
some can't learn as fast as others
some can't do their homework
because they don't understand
Others don't do their homework
because they can't be bothered
some have parents bickering and fighting in the house
some have parents on drugs or alcohol
each child can have the same behaviour
for a different reason
