"It’s not easy for kids, it’s so traumatic for them especially when their parents aren’t playing the role of close parenting.
"Parents need to make them their friends, play with them, be very close to them, and always take them out to the park to play, it’s very boring for adults let alone kids."

At airport, girl tells mum she doesn't want to relocate

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a little girl had told her mum at an airport that she doesn't want to travel abroad.

In a video shared by @priscabeauty11 on TikTok, the girl alongside her siblings told their mother that they did not want to leave Nigeria.

The mother pleaded with her children that the holidays were over and it was time to return to their country of base, Italy.

In a bid to lighten up their moods, she told them that they would return to Nigeria this year ending for the Christmas holiday. The kids, however, kept sober faces and remained insistent on their decision to stay back in Nigeria.
