Ukuthetha nomntwana wakho malunga nokutshaya

Abazali banokuba nefuthe elikhulu ekubeni abantwana babo bayatshaya. Isimo sakho sengqondo kunye nezimvo malunga nokutshaya zimisele umzekelo. Thetha ngokukhululekileyo malunga nento yokuba awukuthandi ukutshaya komntwana wakho. Kananjalo ungabanceda bacinge ngendlela abanokuthi hayi ngayo xa umntu ebanika icuba.

Isikolo esiphakathi siphawula ukuqala kweenguqu ezininzi kwezentlalo, ngokwasemzimbeni nangokweemvakalelo. Abantwana bathambekele ngakumbi ekuthatheni izigqibo ezimbi ngokusekwe kwinto abayenzayo nakwenzayo abahlobo babo.

Uninzi lwabantu abadala abatshayayo babenemidiza yabo yokuqala beneminyaka eli-11 ubudala kwaye baberhintyelwe xa bejika i-14.

Kukho imithetho echasene nokuthengisa iisigarethi ebantwaneni. Ngelishwa, oku akuthinteli abantwana ekuboneni imifanekiso kwiintengiso nakwiimovie ezenza ukutshaya kujongeke kupholile. Iikhuphoni, iisampulu zasimahla, kunye nokwenyusa kwiiwebhusayithi zeenkampani zecuba zenza ukuba icigarette kube lula ukuba abantwana bayifumane.

Qala kwangoko. Licebo elilungileyo ukuqala ukuthetha nabantwana bakho ngobungozi becuba xa beneminyaka emi-5 okanye emi-6 ubudala. Gcina incoko iqhubeka njengoko abantwana bakho bekhula.

Yenze intetho yababini. Nika abantwana bakho ithuba lokuthetha ngokukhululekileyo, ngakumbi njengoko bekhula. Babuze ukuba bayabazi na abantu abatshayayo kwaye baziva njani ngako.

Hlala uqhagamshele. Izifundo zibonisa ukuba abantwana abaziva besondele kubazali babo kunqabile ukuba baqale ukutshaya kunabantwana abangasondelanga kubazali babo.

Cacisa malunga nemithetho kunye nolindelo lwakho. Abantwana ababaziyo abazali babo bahoya kwaye abakuvumeli ukutshaya abanakufane baqale.

Thetha ngomngcipheko wecuba. Abantwana banokucinga ukuba akufuneki bakhathazeke ngezinto ezinjengomhlaza nesifo sentliziyo bade babe badala. Yazisa abantwana bakho ukuba ukutshaya kunokuchaphazela impilo yabo ngoko nangoko. Inokuchaphazela nezinye iinkalo zobomi babo. Chaza le mingcipheko:

• Iingxaki zokuphefumla. Ngonyaka ophelileyo, abantwana abatshayayo kunokwenzeka ukuba baphefumle kancinci, babe nokukhohlela, bavuthele, kwaye bagule rhoqo kunabantwana abangazange batshaye. Ukutshaya kwenza ukuba abantwana bathambekele ngakumbi kwisifo sombefu.
• Iziyobisi. Chaza ukuba imidiza yenziwe ukuba ibe likhoboka kangangoko. Xelela abantwana ukuba kuya kuba nzima kakhulu ukuyeka ukutshaya xa beqala ukutshaya.
• Imali. Imidiza iyabiza. Cela umntwana wakho ukuba abone ukuba kungabiza malini ukuthenga ipakethe ngosuku kangangeenyanga ezi-6, kwaye banokuthenga ntoni ngaloo mali endaweni yoko.
• Ivumba. Kudala emva kokuba umdiza uhambile, ivumba lihlala liphefumla, iinwele kunye neempahla. Ngenxa yokuba beqhelile ukunuka imidiza, abantu abatshayayo banuka umsi bengazi nokuwazi.

Bazi abahlobo babantwana bakho. Njengokuba abantwana bekhula, abahlobo babo banefuthe kukhetho lwabo ngakumbi. Umngcipheko wokutshaya kwabantwana bakho uyenyuka ukuba ngabahlobo babo bayatshaya.

Thetha ngendlela ishishini lecuba elijolise ngalo ebantwaneni. Iinkampani zemidiza zichitha amawaka ezigidi zeedola nyaka ngamnye ukuzama ukutshaya abantu. Buza abantwana bakho ukuba bafuna ukuxhasa iinkampani ezenza iimveliso ezigulisa abantu.

Nceda umntwana wakho aziqhelise ukuthi hayi. Ukuba umhlobo wakho unika abantwana bakho icuba, baza kuthini? Cebisa iimpendulo ezinje:

• "Andifuni ukunuka njenge-ashtray."
• "Andifuni iinkampani zecuba ezenza imali ngam."
• "Andifuni kuphelelwa ngumoya xa ndiziqhelanisa nebhola ekhatywayo."

Yenza umntwana wakho athathe inxaxheba kwizinto ezingatshayiyo. Ukudlala imidlalo, ukuthatha umdaniso, okanye ukuthatha inxaxheba esikolweni okanye kumaqela ecawa kunokunceda ukunciphisa umngcipheko wokuba umntwana wakho aqale ukutshaya.

Yiba nolwazi malunga nezinye iindlela "ezingatshayiyo". Abanye abantwana babhenela kwicuba elingenamsi okanye icuba elektroniki. Banokucinga ukuba ezi ziindlela zokuphepha iingozi zecuba kwaye bafumane ukulungiswa kwenicotine. Yazisa abantwana bakho ukuba ayiyonyani le.

• Icuba elingenamsi ("chew") likhoboka kwaye linama-30 eekhemikhali ezibangela umhlaza. Abantwana abahlafuna icuba basemngciphekweni womhlaza.
• Imidiza ye-elektroniki, ekwabizwa ngokuba yi-vaping kunye ne-hookahs ye-elektroniki, intsha kwintengiso. Baye beza kwiincasa ezinjenge-bubble gum kunye ne-pina colada ebhenela abantwana.
• Uninzi lwee-cigarettes ziqukethe inicotine. Iingcali zinexhala lokuba i-e-cigarettes iya kulonyusa inani labantwana abathi babe ngamakhoboka atshaya icuba njengabantu abadala.

Ukuba umntwana wakho uyatshaya kwaye ufuna uncedo lokuyeka, thetha nomboneleli wakho wezempilo.
