“The classroom is supposed to be a place where children learn with joy and excitement, not pain…when a teacher is always inflicting pain on a child, learning is impeded and they are not making progress, not because they don’t have the potential to do so but because of the kind of environment that has been created for them,” Ocheho explained.
Speaking in a recent interview on ARISE NEWS, child psychologist ThankGod Ocheho and Titilayo Vivour-Adeniyi, Executive Secretary of the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA), shared their insights on child discipline and the importance of ensuring safe environments for children in both homes and schools.
