|
|
…you have to be their life coach
|
|
...you have to be someone they can trust in everything
|
|
…You have to punish them when they go wrong
|
Correction by punishment
|
|
…If you spare the rod you spoil your child
|
|
…you can’t be a parent if you can’t correct your children
|
|
…a good parent owns his children and trains them
|
|
…a parent is like a leader, you need to be in charge
|
Maintain total control to guide them
|
|
…they are children, they need your control for their own good
|
|
…if you can’t control your children, then you can’t care for them
|
|
…out of control children are an example of bad parenting

|
Caregiver experiences with child rights and parental control
|
|
…how can we parent them if we can’t control them
|
|
… we can’t control them like our own children, it is against their rights
|
|
…I agree with some of it, but it doesn’t allow us much control
|
|
…child rights are not bad at all, they just don’t fit this environment
|
Child rights are Foreign and Incompatible with us

|
Child rights threatens job loss and prosecution
|
|
…I’ve had some of my colleagues sacked because of child rights
|

|
|
…with all those rights, you can only do little for them
|
Lessened care under child rights
|
Child rights impacts on care duties and relationship with children
|
|
…if you follow those rights strictly, you can only give less care
|

…if I can’t punish my child, then I’m not giving enough parental care
|
|
…I just leave them alone
|
Caregiver ambivalence
|
|
…it is they (children) who will suffer here not me
|
|
…we dint raise them, we just serve them
|
|
…what do you do if the child does not listen to all your talk?
|
|
…we know our limits, and they know our limits too
|
Reinforces professional rather than parental relationship
|
|
…we are workers, not real parents so we just work
|
|
…the child doesn’t see you as a parent, just a worker
|
|
…the relationship is that of work not that of parenting
