**The debate over child discipline methods always sparks heated discussions in society. In a recent interview on the ‘Honest Bunch’ podcast, Nigerian comedian Bovi shared his controversial views on child rearing.**
**Bovi revealed an unconventional approach to parenting, saying: “I don’t advocate violence against children; you should let children be themselves. My son breaks the television just for fun when he’s upset. He throws things at it and breaks it, but he’s gotten to an age where he’s started feeling remorse.”**
**The actor also shared how his son broke three different televisions at home in moments of anger on different occasions. He explained: “The video I posted online of him breaking a TV was actually the third one, not the first one. I didn’t buy a cheaper one the second time, but thank goodness I could afford it. If I couldn’t afford a second TV, my approach would have been totally different. That’s why I think most of the time when we hit kids, you have to ask yourself: are you really trying to correct them or are you just frustrated?”**
**The comedian’s statements immediately sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with many users expressing their disapproval of his stance. Some questioned his parenting style, while others criticized his leniency.**
**The comments from users varied: “Bovi – ‘Let the children be. The Bible – ‘He who spares the rod hates his son’.” Some highlighted the impact of poor parenting on children’s behavior: “Poor parenting is why today’s children are so rude and ill-mannered 😌.” Others expressed concern about the impact of Bovi’s actions on other children: “I hope his violent nature stops at your door. Make sure he doesn’t bring it near another child, because we won’t let him.”**
**This debate raises important questions about child-rearing approaches and discipline. Every parent must find a balance between kindness and authority to help their children become responsible and well-rounded individuals. The diversity of opinions and experiences shows how complex and important parenting is in our modern society.**
