n Day 4 of the 7 Things My Mother Gave Me series, I reflect on a Jamaican proverb my mother often used - one that took on deeper meaning when I became a mother myself.

Growing up as the youngest of five children in a family spanning five generations, I heard this saying many times. But only later did I understand its meaning.

The proverb speaks to the importance of shaping values early—while character and habits are still forming.

In this reflection, I explore the responsibility we have in guiding the next generation and instilling the values they will carry throughout their lives.
