Greetings everyone,

It's my pleasure to be here in this great community.

Boy or girl child, which do you think is more expensive to train? Give your reasons

I think training a girl child is more expensive compare to training a boy child due to so many reasons which includes:

1. The girl child will need things such as sanitary pad, cosmetics items etc when she start growing up which will add to the expenses of training.

2. The girl child hair maintenance is more expensive than that of the boy child. You can use 500naira to cut the boy child hair in the barbing salon but it is not always same with the girl child. Plaiting of a girl child hair is usually more expensive and time consuming as well.

3. Ladies love fashion alot, making the clothing and accessories of the girl child more expensive than that of the boy child. A boy child can manage two pears of clothes, but you hardly see a girl child who can manage two pears of clothes,,, the girl child will always be in need of new pears of clothes than the boy child.

4. There is high competition among females than males,, so parent tend to spend more money on the girl child to ensure she has all that she needs to be comfortable among her peers,, this is another expenses on it own.

If you were to be a parent today, which gender do you prefer to have as your children? Give us your reasons

I will prefer to have both gender as my children,, but I will love a girl to be my first child, if God will permit,,, the reason why I will prefer a female child as my first born is story for another day😁🤭🤭

Here are the reasons why I will prefer both gender;

1. Both gender have their own uniqueness, characteristics, strengths and weaknesses. So having both gender as children will make the parent learn different things and be able to handle them better.

2. Having both gender as children, will enhance the parent understanding about the world and how complex it is.

3. Raising both gender as a parent, you will be able to have experience on different emotions because, the girl child and the boy child act differently when it comes to emotion. The girl child is usually more emotional than the boy child, and raising them both will give you a better understanding.

During adolescence, which gender shows tendencies to go out of control? Why

Talking about the gender which tends to go out of control during adolescence, this greatly depends on the child upbringing and how he/she has been trained.

Both the girl child and the boy child have tendencies of going out of control during adolescence, but then the tendency of the boy child going out of control is more than that of the girl child.

Therefore, as parent let endeavor to train and bring up our children in the way of the lord, let us love, care, support and give them maximum attention regardless of their gender, and when the grow up to adolescence stage, going out of control will be hard for them. Because, the training they got since from childhood will sustain and keep them in control.

What do you think about the statement; "what a boy can do, a girl can do better"?

I think this statement is a phrase that is often use in order to encourage the girls to do better, and not to feel less of themselves. Especially in an environment where it is dominated by boys and the girls have little or no say about things that matters. Using this statement will serve as an encouragement to the girls.

The phrase also, is usually used for the promotion of equality among gender, making everyone feel important regardless of gender.

Thank you all for reading through my post🙏🙏
