🔥 WISE STEPS TO APPLY WHILE RAISING YOUR CHILDREN.
✅ Teach your children never to lie, they should stand firm in telling the truth, any day anytime.
This can only be accomplished when you as parents and teachers give the children unconditional love as Carl Rolger America psychologists advised us to do.
Children lie because they fear the consequences that could comes if they tell the truth.
✅ Let your children work for every penny you spend on them.
I will explain, say you want to buy your children cloths for Christmas and it will cost ( $30).
You don’t just buy the cloth and give them, no.
Make them feel they earned the money that was used to buy the clothes.
How do you do that?
You have to strategically tell them that for each 10pages of a book they read and summary they will earn ($2)...
And by so doing they will think they are ripping you off, whereas you are successfully making them to value learning.
This process should be used for buying them literally everything they use...from clothe, to school bag, school fees, books and so on.
Here is it, when your children get to senior class in school, they should start paying their school fee and also when they get of age 16 which is age of reason, they should start their own company with their smartphone or laptop or work as freelancers online.
After their high school they should move out of your house and go fight for their life. If you pamper them too much they will suck in the real world.
Many adults are suffering today because of over pampering by their parents and siblings, they can’t go out there to fight the fight of life battles.
✅ Make it a mandatory that your children read books everyday and review it, even if it’s a one single page of a book.
And as well they should practice one skill everyday that align with their purpose in life say( 1 hour each day)...
Eg- if the child wants to be a mathematician after reading his/her book the child should also play video game or chess for one hour or so, it helps in enhancing their logical reasoning.
This example is applicable to every thing you can think of being a child’s destiny, just find a skill that align with their purpose so they can practice it.
✅ Never raise your voice or hand on your partner.
A man should in no case hit the wife in-front of their children no matter what, even if village people are following you.
You ask why, right ?
Well, because 99.99% male folks who beat their wife is as a result of their father haven beating their mother when they were small. So, they leaned the act from their father.
✅ Teach your children about s*x education.
The best strategy is to talk to your children about s*x when they are very young and to continue this conversation as they grow older.
S*x education doesn’t need to be promiscuous. If parents does not teach their children about s*x, they will definitely learn it somewhere else ....
And possibly use it to destroy themselves.S*x education also offers the possibility of transmitting your family values to your children.
For example, if you come from a family who believes that in*******se should not take place before marriage; this can be part of discussions about s*xuality.
If the subject has never been discussed before, there is a significant risk that your child, now a teenager, will not be receptive to this message and that is the reason we have our young ladies messing up their life in the university with the male folks.
✅ Teach the male folks that they are the stronger ones and the ladies are the weaker ones, so for that reason he should in no situation beat the female folks.
Rather, he should be her defender. Sometimes make the male child to wear her sister sandal or shoes, he may not like it but insist that he does so.
He will become a gentle man & great husband when he get married. Also teach the female child to respect the male, because respect is far more important to a man than food and s*x.
✅ Make your children to love learning. The best way to teach your children to read is for you to read, as well.
When they see you reading they will have no other choice than to read themselves.
The surest way for a child to achieve a great destiny is by consistently reading. Ben Carson Said “ I read myself out of poverty, before I worked myself out of poverty.”
✅ Do well as parents to confess positive things on your children each day, call them kings and queens, tell them that they shall be the head not the tale, and they will succeed in anything the put their hands on.
Train your children never to take what do not belong to them. Train them to stand against injustice anytime any day . Train them to know that the secret of this world is buried in the library.
Teach them that the treasure in books worth far more than all the golds in the world.
“Without books the development of civilization would have been impossible. They are the engines of change, windows on the world, "Lighthouses" as the poet said "erected in the sea of time." They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind, Books are humanity in print. _Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher.
_As a parent, you should know that success leaves clue. Research has shown that for people to achieve a great destiny an individual have to spend at least 10,000 hours practicing their craft deliberately.
There is a study called the 10,000 hours theory. It shows that every extraordinary person in life, whether dead or alive, irrespective of their endeavors accumulated (10,000 hours) in their area of specialty before becoming a global figure.
This is the reason why most people don’t succeed because they approach their life purpose as a hit and run game, make your kids realise that they can achieve all their dreams but they have to pay the price of 10k hour deliberate practice for such achievement to happen.
✅ Parents should allow their children to start learning new skills online, our school system has not developed to incorporate the kind of skills needed in today work place.
Covid-19 disrupted the way we human run our day to day activities.
Today some people earn more money working from home than most people do with their office jobs ( at least I can attest to that) I have never worked for anybody in an office, all
My work is online.
Below are some skills that is paying young People thousands of dollars and millions of dollars, but none of it is taught in school currently, maybe in the future they’ll do so.
✅ Copywriting.
✅Social media ad.
✅Website design.
✅SEO.
✅Blogging.
✅Crypto.
✅Information marketing.
✅ E-commerce.
✅video vlog ( eg Youtube, Facebook and Tiktok.)
✅Social media manager.
✅Coding.
✅Virtual Assistance.
✅Affiliate marketing.
✅Email marketing.
✅Course creation.
... And many more
None of the 15 skill which I listed above is being taught to our children in school.
Dear parents and teacher ...the world is moving so fast in such a way that before you graduate from university everything you have learnt would become obsolete.
This is why it’s very crucial to train your kids on emerging economy of the world, days of office jobs are gone for good . In today’s world entrepreneurship is needed more than ever before. Just as jobs were needed in the 20th century.
As parents do everything humanly possible to expose your children to one of the skills above at early age.
Don’t join those parents who say my children are too small to use smartphone or laptop.
There mates in developed nations are already internet wizards at tender age, how can your children compete in today’s world if they don’t know how the internet works?
Finally, instill in your children marketing skills to sell their gift and talents.
Because no matter how good there gift is developed without marketing strategy they won’t earn a living from it.
“Doing what needs to be done may not make you happy, but it will make you great in life.“ George B. Shaw
