James Maonga commented:

"Keep teaching him, it might seen as abuse today, but this child will remember you for the rest of his life, and he will thank you for what u did for him. Good thing u can leave for your child is knowledge that he can use anywhere else for his own well-being."

Cornelius Muendo replied:

"I hate it when kids have to cry to understand any concept. You may have the child learn new things but lose him totally. Why film him in this state... This is demeaning."

Frankline K. Bett commented:

"This kid is still young to code 1 to 10. Whatever you are doing to him is purely slavery and unjust. You weren't forced to learn; you're as well allowed to force content on him. Let the young boy enjoy playing age."
