Ask Serious Questions #7
Schools that know their onions must have thought several years ahead of parents about all the safety measures necessary to preserve the children…
Test for emotional or mental preparedness #6
Answer this question: have you prepared your child(ren) mentally for what’s ahead? Remember that the school is no longer what it used to be for (them)…
Get safety items ready #4
It is very likely that schools might insist on specific colours (for face masks) or require that a new one be worn upon entry to school, while the old one be disposed or handed back to parent at the school gate. So, just get to know what your school expects so that you are not caught unawares.
Get a laptop and brush up on IT skills. #3
Your child has a laptop, but still bends over the keyboard and picks characters one key at a time. It’s hightime she learnt some typing skills and digital literacy.
Start Waking Up Early #2
ENTERS MUMMY AT 6AM.
“Rise and shine boy! School resumes today. Get up and get dressed.”
The young man rolls on his belly, grabs the duvet, pulls it over his head and snoozes off. Mum wonders why he is so lazy. The truth is, he might not be.
Start Going to Bed Early #1
Your child may have developed a five-month habit of watching late night movies or playing computer games till 2am. You certainly shouldn’t expect him to up and go to bed at 8pm simply because ‘school resumes tomorrow’.
Nah… it doesn’t work that way.
Mr. Leke’s Reward
This video is a screenshot of feedback I received from parents (some of whom, I’ve never met physically) after 3 months of online teaching. Some of these words nearly bring tears to my eyes. It is a testimony I can’t keep to myself. I just gotta share.
Father-Daughter Problem – Any Hope?
I am quite curious as to why many of the young ladies of my generation seem to have a sour relationship with their fathers. What went wrong? What happened to the days when his heart warmed up when she smiled or when she ran into his waiting arms …? Wait first, were there ever moments like that sef? … I pause and think about the sweet moments I am sharing with my daughter and pray … that she will never understand what ‘Daddy issues’ mean.
