The song, African legend for children

There is a tribe in Africa, where the date of birth of a child is not taken as the day he was born. Neither do they do it according to the day it was conceived. The date of birth is the day that child was 'thought' by his mother.

According to this African town, the day in which a woman decides to have a child, she sits alone under a tree and concentrates until listening to the song of the child that wants to be born. The sounds come to him from the heart, and he hears them clear.

After listening to her, she goes back to the man who will be the father of her son and teaches her. Together they hum it over and over again. And that's when they decide to have the baby.

When the mother is pregnant, she teaches the child's song to the local people, so that when she is born, the old women and those who are at her side will sing to welcome her. And so they do it. At the moment when the child is born, everyone sings his song.

As the child grows up, when the child gets hurt or falls or does something good, as a way of honoring him, the people of the tribe sing their song.

But if, on the contrary, the child does something bad or makes some serious mistake, they call the child to the center of the village and the people of the community surround him. Then they sing their song.

This African tribe believes that the way to correct antisocial behavior is not punishment, but love and the recovery of identity. When you recognize your own song, you do not want or need to do anything that harms others.

When a couple joins, they sing each other's song, and when one person dies, everyone in the village sings their song, for the last time, for him.
