The song writer  who wrote the song “sweet mother” could not have written a better song suited for the mothers and their worth in our lives because regardless of the time it was written, it always brings a lot of fond memories of the role a mother plays in the lives of her children.

To every mother and potential mother out there HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY as i believe all mothers should be celebrated everyday.

FAMILY TIME OUT.

The holidays are here again and the time every parent should  take advantage of in bonding with their kids.
Most times parents because of work schedule spend very little and in most cases no time at all with their children.

The advent of the new media has made the world a global village and hence making readily available at the click of a button information that can help as well as harm the child.
it is for this reason tht parents need be more observant. This can only be achieved when quality time is spent with our children.

MAKE THEM YOUR FRIEND

 Children today especially teenagers spend a considerable portion of their time with their peers and so can get easily influenced.
parents will only know this and be in the position to guide the child aright when they make their children their friends and confidant.

TAKE THEM SITE SEEING


 Our choice of location when taking them out also matters. it should not only be about eating and having fun alone, rather it should also be an educative trip.
The trip could be to the national museum, badagry where they can learn about how slave trade started and ended, they could be taken to the olumo rock and other fun places.
the interesting thing about this is that as a parent, the trip will afford us the opportunity to relax and get to know more about ourselves and kids in a relaxing and fun environment, more over it relieves stress in the long run and gives us longer life span.

REST IS GOOD 

In all, though it is so much fun for the kids, it is actually the best medicine for us as parents.  so, why wait, take your children out this holiday season and give them a fabulous holiday present - YOU!
