Have you asked your child how they are feeling lately?

It is no news that a lot of scary things have become “regular” headlines in this country🙂.

Most recently, we have followed the disheartening news of the capture of schoolchildren right from their classrooms💔.

Fear is spreading, not just among adults but among our children too. Nowadays it’s difficult to keep bad news from them.

As parents, we may not be able to protect them from every difficult story, but we can help them build the emotional tools they need to process what they see, ask questions, and feel anchored.

Swipe through for practical ways to support your child when the news feels overwhelming❤️.

They came into our lives and turned everything upside down, our sleep, our plans, our hearts. But quietly, daily, they are also our greatest teachers. 🙏

This Children’s Day, we’re flipping the script. Save this and share it with a mum who needs to hear it today. 💛

Happy Children’s Day Nigeria! 🎉

Mummy when I grow up, I’m going to be the president of Nigeria!

“Ehehn, really?” 😆

Every parent knows that children say the most interesting things, unprovoked. And well, it’s our natural instinct to just laugh it off and keep it moving. After all, not every child who says they’re going to be Africa’s richest man/woman will actually become that. Plus, didn’t we all say these things as well?

But amidst all the jokes and laughter, there’s a subtle perception our children develop when they observe how we regard their thoughts, opinions, and behaviour from a young age.

A person’s confidence is very easily influenced by their earliest interactions.

As a parent, you will very likely be their first role model and sounding board.

How are you making sure that your child grows up to see themselves as valued and capable, through the ups and downs of life?
