Namhlanje, mhlawumbi, akukho mzali ongenakucinga ukuba ngaba kulungile ukuthenga umntwana ohambahambayo. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kubonakala ngathi umntwana usemsebenzini, kwaye kulula ukugcina iliso kuye. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, imiphumo yokuhlala ixesha elide kwi-walker inokuchaphazela ubomi bonke bomntwana. Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuthenga abantwana abahambahambayo? Masizame ukuqonda.
Ngaba abantwana abahambahambayo bayingozi?
Kubazali abaye bathenga le fowuni baze bagcine umntwana kuyo malunga nentsuku, ulwazi aluyi kuba luncedo kakhulu. Emuva kwiminyaka engama-70 ngexesha lobukho be-USSR, abahambahambayo basuswa kwimveliso emininzi. Okufanayo kwenziwa ngo-1989 eKhanada, apho i-carts ivalwe ngoku, kungekhona nje ukuvelisa, kodwa nokuthengiswa nokungenisa. Isizathu esona sizathu sokwenza loo nto kwakuyingozi ababemeleyo. Ngokweentloko zezilwanyana kunye nezinye iingcali, zonke izixhobo zanamhlanje njengabantwana, izigulana kunye nabahambahambayo kufuneka zingavunyelwe ngokungqongqo ngenxa yezizathu ezimbalwa:
- Abahambahamba bangonakalisa ukuhamba ebomini (abantwana banokuhamba ngezwane zabo okanye bavele imilenze yabo);
- ukusetyenziswa kwabahambahambayo kunokukhokelela ekuphazanyeni kwimisebenzi yengqondo, ephendula ukulungelelanisa kwindawo, ekubeni umntwana engafundi ukuhamba ngokuzimeleyo, kodwa usetyenziselwa ukufumana inkxaso;
- Ingozi yengozi yomgibeli uye waboniswa ixesha elide. Umntwana akakwazi nje ukukhawuleza kubo kwaye aqhubekele nantoni na. Kwakhona, kunokutshintsha nje ukuphumelela kwaye uphume;
- kungakhathaliseki ukuba abazali bathetha ntoni, kwaye abantwana abakhulayo kwi-walker baqala ukuhamba kamva, kuba abazi ukugcina imali.
Nangona luhlu oluhle kakhulu, abahambahambayo banamaqela abo. Ngokomzekelo, abazali abangakwazi ukuphazamisa imicimbi yabo, ngelixa umntwana ehamba ngokukhululekile egumbini. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukuba umntwana engayazi indlela yokuhamba, ke ukuhlala okufutshane kumhambi kumnika ithuba lokuphuhlisa nokwazi ihlabathi elikufutshane naye.
Nini ukubeka umntwana kwindawo yokuhamba?
Ukuba ngaba sele sele sele bathethe isigqibo sokuthenga abathengi njengoncedo olongezelelweyo kubo kunye nokuzonwabisa kwintsana, kuyimfuneko ukugqiba kunye nodokotela wezilwanyana xa umntwana efuna umhambi kwaye nokuba kungenzeka yini ukuyisebenzisa. Ukuba imvume yongcali ifunyenwe, abazali kufuneka bakhumbule ukuba akude kube yilapho umntwana eqala ukumelana nenkxaso ukuba kuyimfuneko ukuqala ukuqhelana nabahambahambayo. Umzekelo, kufuphi nefa.
Ukugqiba indlela yokukhetha umntwana ohambahambayo? Kukho nawaphi na isitolo omele ulandele le mithetho elandelayo:
- Hlola umzekelo wobungakanani nokuzinza.
- Ukuphakama kwesihlalo kufuneka kulungiswe ngokukhululekile ukwenzela ukuba umntwana angahambi kwiisokisi, kodwa umele ukuya kwindawo epheleleyo.
- Kwizinto ezininzi ezivelisa iimveliso zibhale ukuba zingasetyenziswa kwiinyanga ezintandathu. Ungayithembi le ngcaciso. Umntwana ngamnye ukhula ngamnye.
Ukuba emva kokuthenga umntwana akuhambanga kumhambi, akufuneki ukuba kuthathwa njengesizathu sokugula. Kwaye akukho mfuneko yokuba uzibuze indlela yokufundisa umntwana ukuba ahambe. Akuzange kubekho ityala elinye apho izixhobo ezincinane zancedisa ekuphuhlisweni kwengane. Kodwa banokulimaza ngokuqinisekileyo. Ngoko ke, ngamnye umzali makenze isigqibo sokuba yena uhambahambayo uyimfuneko kumntwana wakhe.
