My son breaks the TV when he’s angry – Bovi
Nigerian comedian and actor Bovi Ugbomma has shared that his son used to break the television when angry, even as he promotes gentle parenting.
He made this revelation during an interview on the Honest Bunch Podcast with Nedu.
Bovi explained that he does not believe in parents physically disciplining their children, citing his own parenting approach as an example.
He noted that over time, his son reached a point where he started feeling remorseful and stopped breaking things.
He advised parents to let children be and not beat them for their mistakes.
He said, “I don’t advocate for beating children. You should let children be.
“My son Chuchu dey break television for the fun of it. If he vex, he will throw stuff and break television.
“It got to the age where he got to, and I saw the remorse.
“He has broken three televisions. Thank God for capacity. If I couldn’t afford another TV, then the approach would have been different.”
This however, did not sit well with Nigerians, as many have slammed the actor for encouraging violence and raising a son who lacks control of his emotions.
