Ebusika kuvame ukuba nezifo eziningi futhi izingane eziya enkulisa zisengozini enkulu yokutheleleka. Inhlanzeko engxenyeni yabantu abadala ibalulekile ukuvimbela ngangokunokwenzeka lesi sifo esikhathaza kakhulu abazali namuhla, ngoba kubonakala sengathi kunamacala amaningi kakhulu.
Indlela eyinhloko yokutheleleka yizandla, ngakho-ke inhlanzeko nabancane ibalulekile, ikakhulukazi labo abangaphansi konyaka owodwa okuthi uma bethelelekile, basheshe babe babi kakhulu ngenxa yesistimu yomzimba yabo ebuthakathaka. Lesi sifo siqala umkhuhlane ovamile noma njengesifo esiba nzima futhi sidlule ukuhamba komoya. Ezinganeni ezisanda kuzalwa noma ezinganeni ezizalwe ngaphambi kwesikhathi izinkinga zingaba zimbi ngempela.
Kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi noma imuphi umuntu omdala ageze izandla zakhe kahle ngaphambi kokubamba ingane ngoba igciwane lingangena ezandleni ngemuva kokuthinta indawo enegciwane futhi othwalayo kungenzeka angazi nakancane.
Kuyadingeka ukuthatha izinyathelo zokuphepha ngokweqile maqondana nenhlanzeko futhi uqikelele ukugwema ububi obukhulu: uvikele izingane ezindaweni ezivaliwe, ukhwehlele endololwaneni hhayi esandleni, ugcine noma yiziphi izinto zasendlini okungenzeka ukuthi zithelelekile zihlanzekile, ukuthi izingane zigeza izandla njalo nabantu abadala ngaphambi kokubamba ingane, ukuthi ingane enalesi sifo ayiyi inkulisa, ikakhulukazi vikela izingane ezinamasosha omzimba athambile, njll.
