Seeking advice, the father said:

“I come home last night and my wife told me she found this in my Son's school bag, I don't even know how to handle this, please any advice would be greatly appreciated. He would be 8 years in May.

“I don't know if I should beat him, talk to him or scare him. I just need something that would stick with as he grows. Please help sir.”

The influencer advised the man on how to deal with the situation while hailing the little boy’s handwriting.

His words:

“First, I must commend your wife for bringing this to your attention. Second, your son at 8, has a beautiful handwriting. What he has done, is not new. I did it, but I was a little older.”

He further advised the father on the approach to follow, stating that he shouldn’t beat the boy.

He said:

“Tell him that you have seen the "love letter" that he wrote to his "girlfriend". And that you did same to his mother, but only when you were an adult and you had studied your books. Tell him that the ones you did when you were much younger, didn't work because the girls laughed at you, & when your teacher saw the letter, your teacher read it out loud to the class and everyone laughed at you. Tell him that this is not the right time to do such.”
