Popular skit maker and actor, Debo Adedayo, also known as Mr Macaroni, has advised parents and guardians, to allow their kids take their growth step by step.
This comment came after a video went viral, in which two kids (a male named Akorede and a female) were seen in a skit imitating his role as ‘Daddy Wa’ and a young girl imitating the role of ‘Mummy wa’ – two principal characters in his dramas.
He urged parents to avoid pushing children to extremes while exploring their talents, emphasising the need for age-appropriate expression to nurture their abilities.
He advised that while parent try to get the best out of their kids, they should also learn to allow them grow to allow them more creative freedom.
Macaroni wrote on X:
“Dear parents and guardians, I understand the urge to want to make the most out of our uniquely talented children. I, however, strongly believe that we must apply caution while doing so.
We must showcase their talents in ways appropriate for their respective ages. We must put our children first and groom them right. That way, we are able to develop the durability and longevity of their talent as opposed to a short viral moment.
We owe them and our society that guidance.
My love always. Children are uniquely gifted. While I believe in catching them young, I also understand that we must groom and direct them to create at a pace suitable for their respective ages. As they grow, they can be allowed more creative freedom. One step at a time.”
