Ukukhulumisana phakathi kokubaba nengane, kusuka ekufundeni ulimi ukuya ekwakheni ukuhlakanipha, kufanela ukuphucula ukufundiswa nokusetshenziswa.
Ngesikhathi sokukhuluma, abanye abazali nezingane ezikule ndawo bazibophezelekile, benza izinyathelo ukumbona, kungathi bayawakwazi umphakathi ovuselela amakhono. Ubufakazi bobaba bukubeke umumo, ubeka isimo esihle emkhathini wabo, bejabulisa izinhlelo zomntwana. Lo mkhuba ungagubha imisebenzi yokufunda, ube isimangaliso sokuhlangana komphakathi, udala imibono nemibono.
Kuhamba kancane, ilanga liphansi, kanti ubaba usabamba izinyathelo, njengalezi zihlalo ezihlala njalo ezinzima, ukunikeza umntwana ukuvikelwa okukhalipha.

Lezi zindaba zenzeka nsuku zonke epakini. Wonke abazali abaphikisana izinyathelo ezihlala phansi bemqedisa izindlu, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi batshengisa izincwadi, umculo noma izindlela ezincane zokuphila, bonke baphawula amandla. Lo mzila awukhona uhlanga, kodwa ungaphakathi kumoya wokuthandana, kubamba izimfuno zehhasha, kungabhebhethekisi ngokukhanya, ngokuphathelene kwendlu, uyaqhubeka uthola ukufundiswa kwethuba lokuvuma.
