Parenting With Omolara

Good morning my beautiful parents and family, happy Sunday. It's not enough taking the children to church today, teach them the moral lessons too.

Dear Lord do what only YOU can do in her life in Jesus mighty name

Parenting
It is a process that is all encompassing of physical, emotional, social, financial and intellectual development of nurturing a child from infant to an adult.
Parenting is a n intentional practices of a good parent.
Any individual that cannot be physically and emotionally be intentional in parenting MUST not be a parent
I am a Yoruba woman, there is and adage in Yoruba that says 'Gbogbo obi to bimo ko ni abiyamo.
Not all that gives birth to a child are good parents
Parent, a parent is a mother or father to a child
In the holy books a Parent is whom that has been given the responsibility to nurture a child according to God's commandments
As parents we should be able to discern the best for our children at all times
We are to look beyond and below whatever that are being sold to us as regards our children in any form that they maybe sugar coated

FEEDING THE CHILDREN DURING THE HOLIDAY
The economic situation of the country not withstanding, still,as parents we have the duty of providing food our children.Even in buoyant economy you don't have to break a bank to be able to feed your children.
All it requires is planning and commitment. Planning helps us to give our children the needed nutritious and healthy food they need rather than spending unnecessarily. Don't feed then on junks and unhealthy food
Cook nutritious food.
Teach them how to cook, the grown up among them,thus is the time to teach them various cooking methods on how to get healthy meals
Teach them how to make home meals and let them imbibed the habit of eating homemade foods.
Make Juices at home and let them learn the process and methods
Juices such as
Zobo
Kunnu
Pineapple etc
They are very healthy and economical in place of processed ones
Teach them how to make use of what is available at home to produce healthy meals

Holiday:part 2.
The long Holiday is not for coaching classes or lesson ' ALL WORKS AND NO PLAY MAKES A CHILD A DULL BOY/GIRL.
Rather,this is the period to recharge the brain, relax the nerves and muscles.It is the time to take stock of past academic terms and prepare for the next session.
The stress children go through daily in cosmopolitan state like such as Lagos state to get to and fro from schools are too enormous.
Waking up as early as 5.00am daily in most homes.
Being in grillocks to and fro from school daily
All these has psychological and emotional effects on a child.Therefore,this holiday is meant for them to refresh and recharge.
WHAT SHOULD PARENTS DO?
Engage them in activities that are not academics but entertaining.
Take them to recreational or religious camps
Travel to the rural area
Take them to historical monuments
To film houses
Organise house parties.

Give them moral talks with love,through playing with them. Above all imbibed integrity and
dedication in them by giving each and every one of them house chores to do no matter how small.

The Supreme God in his mercy has graciously give children for continuity. His graciousness to every human that is able to conceive and birth a child is unquantifiable in the sense that a family is always incomplete without a child.

Raising the child and providing them with protection,care and love in order to ensure their healthy development into responsible adults.

Parenting is not a one way traffic because our families,ideology and beliefs are different.
