I was brutally beaten for having a mental disorder | Tuko TV


Growing up, Esther Njau struggled with mental illness and a heavy feeling of sadness. Njau says that while struggling with this, she was hardly understood and, at times, was punished for being different. Njau speaks to Yvonne Kawira about raising a child with ADHD and Dyslexia. She says beating her child did not help either. Njau now avoids…

  1. I have ADHD , and I'm so happy that this lady found out about the child's disorder at an early age I found out about my ADHD at a later age and all this time I was suffering without knowing. …. but i thank God I am able to try and cop with life slowly by slowly I know I will be able to manage with life especially the tantrums … but I'm happy for my therapists and doctors 😃

  2. I have watched her a number of times. She is quite intelligent. She clear, eloquent and good humored. Hope parents, teachers and gurdians can also learn;, the mistakes we make in the journey of bringing up young people. All the best Nyokabi now that you are a morher now. Blessings.

  3. i will say this but there is a teacher in thika for special kids said we have spoiled our kids and he called them spoiled brats but its because we have learned they are not special kids WE ARE THE SPECIAL PARENTS 😍😍😍😍hatukutumia MUNGU barua atupe watoto wako gifted differently then reduce sugary things 😘😘😘much love Ngatha i would like to have a talk with you

  4. Nyokabi I really admire your strength.. you're a strong beautiful and a very very intelligent woman. God gave you wisdom which you're using appropriately. You're truly blessed

  5. Thank you for creating awareness about ADHD…aki God knows the judgement one gets from society..the way you have spoilt kids…I wish I could vent here…

  6. Goodness Gracious 😳😳 doing an assumption of what someone's problem is without involving medical advice. Again parents are not told 😭 for sure Africa really needs psycho education.

  7. very high command of English given her level of education. very good.
    and she clearly understands a difficult condition ADHD better than even professionals working in corporates!

  8. It is time to talk about Mental disorders many people are suffering but hawajui ni nini mbaya hata mimi nimezaliwa na Mental disorder but i thank God niko abroad na huku wazungu wanaelewa sana na ni wataalam sana kwa magonjwa wa akili mimi naenda kwa Psychologist for 6 yrs now natumia Meds and iam doing fine

  9. This is a VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE .It needs to be listened through all channels to help many in today's society.Where I am many children's start medication as early as possible and they're doing very well.That medication is started very early in the morning and if it's skipped his day will messed up.

  10. I just love this mum she's learning quite fast about the kid's conditions. Allow me highlight few things,delayed speech was brought about by too much screen. Manage the things that trigger hyperactivity then find a shadow teacher for him to foster his hand grip and attention.

  11. ADHD is a complicated disorder. I have a grandaughter similar to your Son. She only talks Amercan English. We have put her on medication to control the hyperactivity and help focus. School is difficult for her so this term we have put her in a special school where she can also learn some life skills. She actually likes the school where she will be taught at her own pace.

  12. Esther Mungu akubariki,mimi hata nimesahai vile story imeanza,niko hapo kuwa mama wa kambo,kwa wanawake 100 wakiwa mama wa kambo,ni 5 watakuwa wazuri,na pia mumeo Mungu ambariki,wengi wakioa ni basi,anataka amfurahishe mke kuliko watoi wake,hakuna jambo linalomshinda Mungu, your son atakuwa mtoi wa maana usijari,endelea na safari dada essy.

  13. Soo sad. I am mother to a form Three student, my daughter is also affected by the same problem. I have been to different churches. I pray as Esther gets help, please also help my daughter.
