2023 is a few days away and I'm certain some of us have made certain resolves at this point for the new year, whatever you choose to call it - new year resolution, action plans, new ways, etc. Oh well, that is great because the ability to stop and reflect itself is huge. It requires a skill not everyone has or can apply effectively.
However, I would like to remind you that a change in dates on the calendar or the purchase of a new diary does to mean a change in attitude, strategy, or commitment.
If you are going to do anything differently this year it will require more than a resolution, it will require knowledge, tools, effective strategies, commitment, and most importantly consistency.
I know you will hear a lot of these in church and other places of worship, from motivational podcasts, and of course in your place of work, so no I didn't come to give you a motivational speech about new year's resolutions.
I just want to remind you that the same principles apply to parenting.
👉🏿 What kind of child are you raising, what do you want to see in that child?
👉🏿 What steps will you take this year toward the big GOAL
👉🏿 What do you need to learn, unlearn and relearn?
👉🏿 How much time are you willing to put daily into parenting?
👉🏿 What habits and skills will your child be learning /honing /mastering?
Quick advice, let reading be a priority for your children of all ages.
♦️Get a budget for books
♦️Start with reading aloud,
♦️ Introduce different genres of books to know which one they prefer.
♦️ If you are African, help them connect with their roots by reading African perspectives.
