EXPRESS YOUR GRATITUDE OVER THAT WHICH YOU TERM "LITTLE" BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA "Hello sir! I asked for #10,000 and you sent #5000, what do you want me to do with the money? " "Mummy, where did you get these shoes from? You don't even know I don't like things like these? God forbids I wear things like these. You have to return them." Many of us are ungrateful for things our parents do for us. We don't see any need to appreciate them even if they have done below our expectation. When we show appreciation for little kindness shown to us, we can be sure to receive greater. How many times have you appreciated your parents whom you see let alone the God who is invisible? Without their copulation, you! I mean you cannot exist. How much more the invisible God? We tend to be ungrateful because we expected something greater from Him. We don't see any need to even appreciate Him for blessing us with a new morning....

CONTENTMENT IS A VIRTUE EVERY CHILD SHOULD POSSESS BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI I must be sincere with you that I can count how many clothes I got throughout my undergraduate days. It is not that I do not need them but I have been taught to be contented with whatsoever my parents were able to provide. I don't beg for things, I maximize my resources wisely and never wished to be someone else. There are some people when going to attend a function, behold!

There are some children who when their parents pack some goodies in their lunch box, they will still look for a way to beg from their friends. They are not contented with what their parents were able to provide for them. Monitor that child you gave food who in return gave you a contempt look because he expected the food to be m...

INFLUENCING YOUR CHILD'S DECISION IN HIS CHOICE OF CAREER IS NOT WORTH IT BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA " Dear child, our first born studied medicine, the second born studied law, therefore you have to study banking and finance so that our family may not be lacking in any area. " I have seen one or two persons who are not doing well in their course of study because their parents chose for them against their will. A girl who is supposed to be doing excellently in Art class suddenly finds herself in science class where she can't cope. The parents want their child to study medicine so that she can make them proud. The girl would have love to study law but because of her parents, she decides to honour them by succumbing to them. Such child can never find joy in that career because it wasn't her idea or choice,it was her parent's wish she honoured. It is a great delusion to think that your child can only flourish if he is in that field you cherish...
