Momok
That is the term that some parents use to scare their young children. Momok usually refers to monster, ghost or dark places. I am definitely not one of the parents that put such fear in my children.
The only one that they should fear is God. My girls and boy are not afraid of the dark until lately my 2nd sister who is not a Christian yet, came back for her confinement at my mom’s. She is the one who instilled the word, “Momok” in them and her son too.
I do not know how to reverse this. I kept telling my children as not to use the word Momok and that Jesus is with them, Jesus is stronger than the Momok and they should not be scared.
Hi, nice blog you have. I love dropping by and I have add you into my list. Care to exchange link?
I agree with you, we should not instill those word “Momok” or “ghost” or equavalent meaning word to children. If I have my own children, I would definately teach them to fear God too! That’s the most important basic of life. Not to believe in hocus-pocus things….
