THE FUTURE OF A BOY CHILD

A boy child is happy especially while in young age. He gets to explore the great potential and world opportunity. The length of the smile is always to a maximum after the vast interaction with his peers.

A boy child needs care and opportunity to thrive in his life. This will be determined by the kind of background a boy child has. Kind of parents, friends and even the society itself, these factors determine the kind of an adult a boy child will grow.

In a boy child’s mind, there is always an ambition, a picture that illuminates his daily up and down movement. He traces the footsteps of his role model in order to achieve lights at the end of the tunnel.

Normally, you would see a boy child dressed decently to much the days event, he also tries to give a good impression by the level of gentleness, or else some might bring up a different meaning because dressing is a choice. “I had the opportunity to bring light upon my family”, says Jacob a former student in Karatina University. “Now I am PR officer at Bidii Traders company, and I really appreciate all my well-wishers together with the government of Kenya for the scholarships that enable me complete my universities studies with Masters in communication studies”, he said.

Well not to be biased, many societies in a family may place all the burden on a boy child's shoulder. Mostly if he is a first-born child, he is expected to meet all his family's expectations. 

Good examples of are students especially who are colleges and universities. This is where a boy child undergoes different experiences which contribute his character development. You can imagine the different backgrounds, different personalities. Everything become new to a boy child. This is also one of a crucial stage of a boy child where he gets to learn and experience a lot of peer influence.

Such situations are determined by how the parents brought up the child, “I was innocent till I got myself into a group of friends who always kept the public speaking,” says Mwala a forth year student Kenyatta University, “From the late night parties, abuse of drugs and drinking of alcohol.  Sometimes going to class felt like waste of time. My life changed later after a mass killing at Juja town after they were caught looting a phone shop.

Sometime sparing the rod really spoils the child. I urge our parents to monitor their children’s behavior from young age because they will need their teachings when they grow up. 

Its clear that most spoilt future of the boy child really depends on the level of care and responsibility that a parent takes. You will also get to understand this with the kind of friends he makes.

I can’t really wait for the 16th of May 2025. We will get to celebrate International Day for the Boy Child, a day dedicated to raise awareness about unique needs, experiences, andchallenges boys face, while celebrating their positive contributions to the day to day life.

Let’s support our boy child and the future will be bright for him.Let’s keep this movement which supports the boy child, because his failure depends also on his level of discipline and humility and his future will be enlightened.
