A wake up call to the young people

I was really moved by the story of this young man by the name Walter. He used to walk miles and miles at the age of 20 years to work. He didn’t lose hope. The struggle they went through with his mother kept him more determined day by day. One day things really changed. Listen to this video from one of the TV shows courtesy of #STEVETVSHOW….it is amazing..

Why children should do household chores

Children can learn a lot from doing household chores. Here is a video on children and house chores…for more of such…just subscribe..

Doing chores helps children learn about what they need to do to care for themselves, a home and a family. They learn skills they can use in their adult lives, like preparing meals, cleaning, organising and keeping a garden.

• 

Being involved in chores also gives children experience of relationship skills like communicating clearly, negotiating, cooperating and working as a team.

When children contribute to family life, it helps them feel competent and responsible. Even if they don’t enjoy the chore, when they keep going they get the feeling of satisfaction that comes with finishing a task.

And sharing housework can also help families work better and reduce family stress. When children help out, chores get done sooner, and parents have less to do. This frees up time for the family to spend doing fun things together.

How to involve the child

The secret for involving children in household chores is asking for contributions that you value and that suit your children’s ages and abilities. A chore that’s too hard for a child can be frustrating – or even dangerous – and one that’s too easy might be boring.

Even a young child can start to help out if you choose activities that are right for his age. You can start with simple jobs like looking after his own toys. Chores like this send the message to your child that his contribution is important.

It’s also important to think about chores or tasks that get your child involved in caring for the family as a whole. A simple one is getting your child to help with setting or clearing the table. Jobs like these are likely to give your child a sense of responsibility and participation.

If your child is old enough, you can have a family discussion about chores. This can reinforce the idea that the whole family contributes to how the household runs. Children over six years old can help decide which chores they’d prefer.

You can motivate your child to get involved in chores by:

• doing the chore together until your child is ready to do it on her own
• being clear about what each person’s chores are for each day or week – write them down so they’re easy to remember
• talking about why it’s great that a particular job has been done
• showing an interest in how your child has done the job.

The husband caught his wife red-handed

You may not believe it, but he caught me red handed!

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw him. I stood speechless not knowing what to do next. It was true that he didn’t miss his target!

What will I tell him? How will I explain it? A lot of rhetorical questions crisscrossed my mind. Will he ever trust me again?

He had been saying it time and again, but I always denied. Now I had to plead with him for forgiveness.

Mostly he comes home drunk after saying that he doesn’t have money to support the family. Where did he get the money to buy alcohol?

This made me to sneak to his coat pocket or wallet and took some money from there. I had been doing it for some months without him noticing. Incase he did, I always defended by accusing him of visiting bars and that could be where he was losing his cash.

Sometimes he couldn’t ask because it meant that he had some money yet he couldn’t support the family and that couldn’t end well with him. He had been an irresponsible father.

There is this evening when he arrived home totally drunk. He went straight to bedroom and put his wallet carelessly. I thought this was a good chance to do my normal routine. After making sure he was snoring, I took his wallet and took some money.

Before I could make a move, he jumped out of the bed and gave me a king size slap that made me dizzy for some minutes. For all this time, he had been pretending to be drunk. Little did I know that it was a trap.

Having been caught red-handed, I had little or nothing to say. ……..this was a story from one of the ladies in our neighborhood.

Have you ever found yourself in such a situation? I would love to hear your story too as you leave a comment. Get more

Why we need to take care of the environment

Sometimes it is so hurting to see someone throwing garbage anywhere. Yesterday, a lady who looked very presentable took garbage from her hotel and threw it on the road. The previous day, the same road had been cleaned by a certain youth group. I felt so bitter but I couldn’t do anything. The face she gave us was so scary that we couldn’t dare to talk.

Just after some minutes, heavy rain started falling. It was too much that it swept the garbage towards the lady’s hotel. It even blocked the way to the hotel while some found its way inside the hotel. Those who were inside were forced to jump over the waste to access the road. Though we were not able to warn her, but the nature deed.

So what you give to the nature, the same it gives back. You smile, it smiles back to you. You frown, it also do the same. You throw the garbage to it, it throws it back severely.

So let us all be responsible where we can!

The Parents in the making – Ciscas

The life cycle is very interesting. It keeps changing it’s form from time to time. Today you are a baby, tomorrow you become a teenager and the day after, all responsibilities are on your shoulder as you take up roles of a parent. Sometimes it may be tough as this post narates

This is also happening with the children we are raising. We should always put in mind that, we are moulding tomorrow’s parents. The question is: What kind of parents are we moulding? Will they manage to handle their responsibilities when that time comes?

As we continue doing all what is possible to bring up our children, Let’s remember tomorrow will be their turn to show what their parents made them to be. It is the wish of every parent to be mentioned as a role model in their children’s life. Due to this, it is important we do our part the best way we can to make sure we bring out an outstanding future parent. You can also see how to relate with them here. Let’s try to make the best pots that won’t leak before they start cooking. All the best ! ..… What’s your opinion on this?…. kindly leave a comment below.
