We need to have a good understanding of who children are, irrespective of their age, colour, height, weight and what have you in order for us to raise Godly children for a better, safer and saner society.

Every child is a wonderful creature of God; a child is a human being and not meant to be treated as an animal.

It is a new month in which you can start again, forgetting the past hurt, pain or failure. Look on the bright side of life; be positive and optimistic that all good things are possible: you can achieve your lofty dreams and height. Be the smile and laughter that everyone needs and give hope wherever you go.

This is meant to encourage you to keep working, talking, training and praying for your biological and adopted children. Remember, God does not give up on any of His creatures of which you and the children are part.

We should not let down our guard rather buckle up to ensure safety for our children during this period of coronavirus. It is everyone' s responsibility to do and get it right.

You need to continue doing the right thing to have a godly and disciplined child you desire. More importantly is the need for you to add the God- factor in your bid to have a better child.

Parenting is a whole lot of work which involves talking, working and praying. To achieve success, one should never consider giving up which means there should be persistence.

In celebration of the Girl Child Internationally, it is time we give more training and talk to the Boy Child and all males to respect the rights and space of females in the same way they expect to be treated. No to rape and other sexual - related issues on the Girl Child.

This is the continuation of the last episode on parents being the first and primary people God expects to take care of their children. Parents are a child' s first friend from who the child learns a lot of things from.
