BEHOLD, CHILDREN ARE A GIFT FROM THE LORD.

I have observed that, Nigerian parents do not directly express love to their children. How many homes do we find our mum and dad saying, "I love you" to their children, or hugging their children, or holding them. Especially when these children have gotten to a certain age.

Most Nigerian adults feel that they have to act unfriendly to children,to earn respect from them. This is not true. You can treat each child you see with respect, and get respect in turn. Respect is reciprocal.

We have to show love to our children, do not think they are clueless, unimportant things you can yell at,at your pleasure, and talk to only when we want someone to go for an errand.
Try to ask how they feel about some things concerning them, ask for their opinion before making a decision that affects them,buy them nice things once in a while, do not speak rudely to them, they have feelings too.

Get to converse with them daily. Know what they like or dislike, let them tell you about their fears, about the challenges they face daily, advise them, as you would your friends, be patient with them.
Make them understand that you love them, say it, say "goodnight" to them, refer to them with endearment, like 'honey', 'sweetie', 'sugar', 'darling'. There are parents who do. It is quite commendable. Also, we should tell our children secrets of life, some principles of life, how they should behave, and what they should not do and why, plus educate them about their sexuality, this is most salient. Do not leave it out for their school teachers, play your part.

For the smaller ones, be patient with them also, give them the attention they seek, do not over pamper them. Be firm, so as not to 'spoil' them.

Pray to God to help you deal rightly with all children. Some people are skilled in it, while others, need help.

Children, are gifts from God. God has given them to us, to help him mold them into adults, who are fit and proper people for both the society, themselves and eternity.

Our celebration would have been full, if our girls were back already. Our hearts go out to their parents. May God grant them strength and peace.

HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY TO ALL NIGERIAN CHILDREN

LOVING ALL OF YOU!

As a lady,have you ever felt bad because of some physical defect you seem to have? Or someone especially a guy, ever made you feel bad by constantly referring to these so called defect, like magnifying it? It could be talks on how short you are, how dark your skin is, or how fair you are, maybe talks on how 'unsexy' your legs are, it might even be how 'badly tall' you look, for some of us, it may be, how 'small' your back side is, or the size of your boobs, you may just be told outrightly how 'ungood' you look.
