CHILDHOOD AND RISKY BEHAVIOUR..Written By E PLUS The Storyteller

Dear Parents/Guardians

Wherever you are, these are times that call for caution and being more deliberate about raising our children/wards. More than ever before, the materials and information at the disposal of these children have taken a different turn and what these children eventually do with these information could make or mar them!
 
Within a week, I received these three troubling video clips of children exhibiting various 'risky behaviors'  which have equally gone viral and so much is being said. When asked about my opinion, especially as a Creative Content Writing Coach for both adults and Children, I had taken time to think through and this is my thought.
 
No child is born with an opinion, a child is born into a system and grows through the process- Give or take, by omission or commission, a child would adapt to what he or she is exposed to, so what the child manifest eventually is a holistic interplay of these factors. Hence you cannot isolate a child's behavior from the upbringing. At some point when a child begins to exhibit certain 'risky behavior' it's already a red flag that should be taken seriously, otherwise it gets worse from there! Pampering is not validation, don't treat it as one, call a spade a spade.
 
 
 One of the highlights of this discourse is anchored on exposure and control at every stage of the child's life.
 
As parents, what do you condone and what do you frown at, at every stage of the child's development?
 
 
 
 Are you exemplary enough for the child to emulate? 
 
Do you play double standards?(Not keeping to your words?)
 

 
 
Are you opened to people calling out your attention when they notice something wrong about your child's behavior?
 
Are you overtly protective of your child, regardless of how wrong he or she is?
 

 
 
The answers to these questions are necessary in raising these children and ensuring that there is a balance on both sides: Words and actions coupled with taking responsibility when the need arises.
 
Hopefully, as we reflect on these narratives, the children will become better for it.

Horse Bites 6 Year-Old Boy His Penis Off
~0.9 mins read
A six-year-old boy from the Ukraine was involved in an horrific incident that’s almost too unbelievable to be true. One of the family’s pet horses decided to attack the boy when he was riding around on his bike and the mare decided to bite off his penis. There are no known previous incidents between the boy and the horse, and there are pictures of them being together. The boy’s father said: "i was dealing with the horse when i heard my boy screaming, 'she bit it off. she bit it of!".

The boy was rushed to the hospital and had immediate surgery after his reproductive organ was recovered from the horse. One of the doctors in the report indicated that it was one of the strangest scenes he’s ever been involved in, usually having to repair "a severed finger or something like that" after a horse attack. Luckily, surgery was successful in reattaching his penis, but a full recovery is unknown at this point.

Meghan And Harrys Montecito Neighbors Are Fending Off The Tabloid Press
~2.3 mins read
When Meghan Markle and Prince Harry moved with their son, Archie, into Tyler Perry’s Beverly Hills home this past summer, the paparazzi became such a royal pain that the couple sued to stop the onslaught of drones and helicopters flying over their home.

So in June, as the aerial assaults kept escalating, the privacy-seeking couple purchased a majestic 7.4-acre estate in Santa Barbara’s celebrity-strewn Montecito for a cool $14.65 million. Since then, the citizens of Montecito have rallied around the couple and vowed to protect them from further duress. In August, the local paper ran a story warning media interlopers that their shenanigans would not be tolerated. “Montecito Vows to Keep Tabloid Culture Across Pond,” blazed a front-page headline in the Montecito Journal. But while hacks digging for regal dirt usually leave empty-handed, public shaming hasn’t kept them entirely at bay. “The helicopters are still coming,” says one of the couple’s neighbors, who notes that swarms don’t last forever. “Listen, when Oprah bought her house here, the choppers buzzed for about two weeks and then never came back. After a while, they just get bored.”

Royals columnist Richard Mineards, who lives in the area, points out that Montecito is a haven for security-minded stars, including tabloid targets like Ellen DeGeneres. “Lately, we’ve had Ariana Grande, Natalie Portman, and Gwyneth Paltrow,” Mineards says. “We have George Lucas and Larry Ellison of Oracle—the fifth-richest man in America. So they’re in good company.”

The Sussexes’ new home, while far from the toniest in town, boasts a surplus of amenities. In addition to its nine bedrooms and 16 bathrooms, the Mediterranean-style manse features a library, a gym, wet and dry saunas, an arcade, a game room, and a home theater—plus a two-bed, two-bath guesthouse, a tea house, and a “children’s cottage.”

The pair purchased the property from a controversial Russian oligarch named Sergey “Scarface” Grishin, who admitted to stealing $60 billion from Russian banks as the Soviet Union was collapsing. Grishin went to great lengths to keep the deal quiet—even ordering an underling to get a real estate license so she could broker the transaction without involving nosy real estate agents.

While the recovering royals have not yet ventured out to local hot spots, they were recently observed pedaling around Montecito with a few minders. Mineards expects they will eventually turn up at VIP haunts like Lucky’s and Pierre Lafond—a French restaurant favored by Prince Andrew’s daughter Beatrice—and the Santa Barbara Polo Club, where Mineard’s friend Nacho Figueras, the Argentinian polo player, holds court. In the long run, he thinks Montecito will be a better fit for the pair than L.A. “It’s a wealthy enclave, international and very small. Nobody cares who you are. There are tons of famous people here and nobody gives them a second look!”
