That age is so sensitive. They need you – Singer Simi advises parents against placing their children in boarding schools

Nigerian celebrity singer, Simi, has related her views regarding parents who send their wards to boarding school.

She has expressed her disapproval of the act which according to her is not a good one as she noted that the age of the children who are sent to boarding schools is sensitive and that they need their parents at that time.

Her post reads thus:

“Y’ all please don’t leave your babies in his hellish schools after you notice something is off because you think it will get better or because they apologised. Even daycare, primary schools. Many of them are traumatizing children, but many parents don’ t even pay attention. “They beat me too. I did not die . “

“Also, I ‘ve never been an advocate for boarding school. That age is so sensitive. They need you. Most kids that want to go often do so for sus reasons 101 and many parents do it cos they want free time. They need you. Even when they say they don ‘t or they’ re mad at you they need you .

“They need you to be present, to be in their faces and knowing everything about them. They need to be able to come to you for everything not just to see them 3—4 months in a year, but to each his/her own I guess.

“The world is not a kind place. We have to stand in the gap for our children.
Everyday. God help us. It ‘s painful that a child had to lose his life for these conversations to be happening”
