Right from his birth I knew there are unique things about this Young kid.

Here are some of the unusual observations
1. As early as six months after the completion of exclusive breastfeeding, he was introduced to other liquids the first thing we observed was that, whoever starts feeding him must finish the job. He won't accept from the mon if I started feeding him, vice versa.

2. From the age of 1, he doesn't need assistance from anyone. He attempts to do things all by himself. Try to him while trying to master walking, he rejects your offer vehemently, force food into his mouth and he will eject it only for him to eat by himself. He vehemently rejects any kind of assistance offered to him.

3. Unlike his immediate elder brother, he doesn't watch cartoons, this boy tells me to play him music at the age of 2!!!

4. He knows exactly what he wants and he will always get it, anything else is unacceptable.

I tend to be too hard on him because he always wants a particular thing.

Experience parents in the house, what's your experience with such kids and how best did you handle them?


Kindly share

Let the boy breath. Do not suffocate him!!

He may know what he wants but he’s also still 2. He needs to learn to follow rules and authority. So he must learn to do what his parents want him to do. Don’t beat him, just tell him strictly and you and your wife must stand together or he will use it against you. If one is telling him to do
Something and the other is protecting him, it’s not good for that kind of child. If one parent has an instruction, both must see to it that the child listens.

Special child. Is a tricky situation. He has a talent that need supervision, but need to allow him space to express himself. You can free most of the time if the actions wont negatively affect him. But control him where there are risks.

Can he cook

I know his comment is funny

I really need more inputs from experience parents

Your son has a whole personality of his own, but don't always let him have his way.
Guide him as a father.

But she is actually true with that statement.

Find a balance between freedom for him to be himself and state of being in control of his development (to know every actions have consequences and most especially for him not to grow up being entitled man....expecting everything to go his way always in life.)

Life is not a straight line curve. There will be ups and down in it. The earlier he knows it, the better for him and his expectations

Your child does not seem special from your description⇢... he is just different from the others you are used to. Please, do not treat him specially or differently from the others, but at the same time, do not smother him.

⇢Parents should reserve the word Special for autistic children who need special care and attention around the clock.

. Being a special child is not a bad or terrible thing. Most of the geniuses you know of today, and many of those who rule the world you live in, were special as children. But many of their inventions, you and I can barely do without today. So, let's stop with this mess of the way we see these things, abeg.

You don Born superhero Wey go save Nigeria

Honestly, it’s beginning to seem that children born these days are ancestors of the past. A 2 yr old will tell you, “mummy, let me feed myself”. And they are genius. Quick learners and fast talkers. They can recite the national anthem and even mention the 36 states and capitals in Nigeria.

There’s this lovable baby of about 2 years plus who insists on eating whatever everyone else is eating in the house, despite special provisions already made for her. We call her “small mama”.

It's quite scary

Don't forget to play him pop smoke so that he go tough up from small

Pop smoke when die like rat for street. OP, don’t curse your sons life by playing gangster songs for him o.

Every child is unique. Great kid you have there . God bless him.

Well, it is a bad thing for a child to have special needs. In some instances, its considered a disability so please stop with your usual model of whitewashing the truth. More importantly, this particular child does not have special needs.

@ op, you should be glad your child is not interested in screen time. Read to him, give him blocks to play with and encourage play time in a creche or day care. It shall never end the way the devil planned it....

The child is not a bad thing. Children with disabilities are not bad children; they are human beings with freedoms, rights and desires much the same as you. This isn't whitewashing but an attempt to have you see beyond your particular issues with that which you don't understand.

Whatever rocks your boat sweetie...
