Cheers International Academy

What Mrs Kester shared with parents on children's day.

Yes, we are still hiring!!

Join our amazing team. We are located at 52 Mike Okporopor Street, Kpansia, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.

Over the weekend, we reflected on something important:
discipline should build, not break.

Not every correction produces growth.
Some corrections silence, shrink, and wound.

And this is where we must pause as parents.

In many African homes, respect is everything and rightly so.
But sometimes, without meaning to, we begin to equate respect with silence.

A child speaks — we call it rudeness.
A child explains — we call it talking back.
A child insists — we call it disobedience.

But here is the question we must ask ourselves:

Are we correcting the child…
or are we slowly shutting down their voice?

Because when discipline becomes harsh, constant, or dismissive,
it stops being constructive, it becomes destructive.

And a child who is constantly shut down may:

- stop expressing themselves
- hide mistakes instead of learning from them
- struggle with confidence
- fear communication instead of embracing it

That is not the goal of discipline.

True discipline should:

- guide
- teach
- shape
- build character

Not silence.

Yes, children must learn respect but tone, timing, and boundaries matter.
But they must also learn to:

- think
- ask questions
- express themselves
- grow in confidence

And that only happens in an environment where they are heard, not just corrected.

At Cheers International Academy, we believe:

«A child can be disciplined and expressive.
A child can be respectful and confident.»

So as we go into this new week, let’s be intentional:

Before you correct, ask:

- Will this build my child or break them?
- Am I teaching or reacting?
- Am I guiding their voice… or shutting it down?

Let our discipline produce children who are:

- respectful
- confident
- truthful
- emotionally secure

Because the goal is not just obedience —
it is wholeness.
