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.”

It’s a Character Issue
Behaviour issues aren’t always rebellion. Whatever rules the heart of a child is what informs his character per time.
Effective Discipline
We need to see discipline from the child’s perspective not ours.
In some other cases, the strategy you employ might stop a certain challenging behaviour but trigger a new one. This calls for some deep thinking.
Parents, we need to reflect on our practice with our children, just as we do on our jobs.
Sarcasm Saves Stress!
Sarcasm saves you stress. But you need to know what works for your child.
When You Punish a Child
When you punish a child… you didn’t win. The child did… a reprimand is better than being ignored.
