Key Points
- She says a child who earns still remains a child. Parents must guide with care.
- Her note stresses clear rules at home for peace. Money should not shift control.
- She urges mums and dads to set fair limits. Pride should not lead choices.
Parents have a duty that money cannot replace, says filmmaker Biodun Stephen. In a new note, she warns that when a child starts to earn, parents should not hand over control at home.
Stephen adds that life can push a young person into work early. Yet, she says the child stays a child under the law and house rules. A parent’s job, she notes, is firm care, not blind praise or fear. See how other stars share family views in this recent piece on Stan Nze praises bouquet gesture.
She writes that some parents begin to “dance to the tune” of a rich child. That shift, she says, is risky for both sides in the long run. “Parents, play your role regardless,” she ends.
Why her message lands today
Her post follows weeks of heated talk online about home life. The point speaks to how fame and cash can change family roles fast. She hints a film she watched pushed her to write.
Stephen also points to how clear borders help a young earner. When rules are clear, quarrels fall and respect stays strong. She says this is true on social media and in real homes.
Parents should still set fair limits, she argues. They should keep the child’s well-being ahead of pride or perks. Calm, steady talk works better than fear or praise alone.
Wider talk on family and fame
The theme echoes other posts from stars in recent days. In one update, music figure Samklef told Senator Ned Nwoko to let his wife be if love is gone. Read our related report on theSamklef advice to Ned Nwoko.
Stephen’s line also tracks with child-safety concerns online. Many fans worry when young people carry adult bills too soon. Her note asks parents to avoid power swaps based on cash alone.
She frames the fix in simple steps for the home. Keep chores, curfews, and school work clear and steady. Praise real effort, but do not let cash buy new rules.
She ends with a call to lead with love and care. Money helps, she notes, but guidance is still the base. The child’s income should support the home, not run it
