"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character–that is the goal of true education.”~Dr Martin Luther King

Happy New Week to you all...

Education is a basic foundation for Success.
Have a Beautiful Weekend Ahead

Your Child is NOT a Failure!

In a world that often measures success by predefined standards, it's crucial to remind ourselves that every child's journey is a unique masterpiece in progress. Today, I want to share a powerful message:

Your child is NOT a failure.

Why? Because.

Individual Growth Matters
Education is not a race, but a personal journey of growth. Each child learns and develops at their own pace, acquiring skills that extend beyond the classroom.

Diverse Talents and Strengths
Every child possesses a unique set of talents and strengths that contribute to the vibrant tapestry of our school community. It's about recognizing and nurturing these individual gifts.

Mistakes Lead to Growth
Failure is not the opposite of success but a part of it. Mistakes are stepping stones to learning, resilience, and a deeper understanding of oneself.

Success Comes in Many Forms
Success isn't confined to academic achievements alone. It's found in kindness, creativity, perseverance, and the ability to overcome challenges. Your child's success is multifaceted.

Progress Over Perfection
Learn to your celebrate your child's progress, no matter how small. Each step forward, each effort made, is a triumph worth acknowledging. It's about the journey, not just the destination.

So, if your child faces challenges or setbacks, remember, it's merely a setback on their unique path. Let's redefine success to include the joy of learning, the kindness they show, and the courage they display in the face of adversity.

Share a word of encouragement with your child today, reminding them that their journey is uniquely theirs, and every chapter is filled with opportunities for growth and success.

Dear Parents,

As we approach the upcoming school term, it's essential to ensure that our children are well-prepared for their return.

Here are some key points to consider:

📍Uniform Check
Take a moment to check your child's school uniform. They may have outgrown it during the holiday, resulting in it being too short or tight. Don't forget to inspect socks for holes and ensure shoes are in good condition.

📍Bag Adjustment
Check the straps of their school bags to ensure they're adjusted to match your child's height. This will help prevent discomfort and strain during the school day.

📍Utensil Hygiene
Since the utensils may not have been used for a while, it's a good idea to thoroughly wash them with warm water before school begins. This will ensure they're clean and ready for use.

📍Health Check
Schedule a visit to the pediatrician or family doctor for a general health check-up before the term starts. This is especially important if your child has any ongoing health concerns or if they haven't had a check-up in a while.

📍Sleep Schedule
Start gradually adjusting your child's sleep schedule to align with school hours. This will help prevent tiredness and ensure they're well-rested for the first day back.

📍School Supplies
Take inventory of school supplies from the previous term and make a list of any items that need to be replenished. This includes stationery, textbooks, and any other materials required by the school.

📍Communication
Reach out to your child's school if you have any questions or concerns about the upcoming term. It's important to stay informed and involved in your child's education.

Remember, preparation is key to a smooth transition back to school.

Wishing you and your children a happy and successful resumption on Monday 29th April, 2024!

Cheers to successful parenting

Happy Good Friday to you all
Jesus is the reason for the Season...

Monday Quotes

Happy New Week to our Beloved Parents, Pupils and Students

The Importance of Teaching Critical Thinking to Children

Have you ever wondered what sets successful individuals apart in today's complex world?
The answer lies in a skill that is often overlooked but incredibly powerful: Critical thinking.

Critical thinking is the ability to analyze, evaluate, and make reasoned judgments about information and situations. It involves asking thoughtful questions, examining evidence, considering different perspectives, and drawing logical conclusions. In essence, it's about thinking deeply and independently to solve problems and make informed decisions.

But why is it important to teach critical thinking to children at an early stage? Here are a few reasons:

1.It Empowers Problem-Solving Skills: Critical thinking equips children with the tools they need to tackle challenges and solve problems effectively. By teaching them to approach problems systematically, consider multiple perspectives, and explore creative solutions, we empower them to navigate life's complexities with confidence and resilience.

2. It Fosters Independent Thinking: Critical thinking encourages children to think for themselves and question assumptions. By teaching them to analyze information critically and make their own judgments based on evidence, we empower them to become independent thinkers who are less susceptible to manipulation and misinformation.

3. It Prepares them for Future Success: In today's rapidly changing world, the ability to think critically is essential for success in both academic and professional settings. By cultivating critical thinking skills from an early age, we prepare children to thrive in a future where adaptability, problem-solving, and innovation are highly valued.

4. It Promotes Lifelong Learning: Critical thinking is a lifelong skill that extends beyond the classroom. By teaching children to approach learning with curiosity, skepticism, and an open mind, we instill in them a love for learning and a desire to continuously seek knowledge and understanding throughout their lives.

5. Encourages Responsible Citizenship: In an era of information overload and misinformation, critical thinking is crucial for responsible citizenship. By teaching children to evaluate information critically, discern fact from opinion, and engage in respectful dialogue, we empower them to become informed and engaged citizens who contribute positively to society.

In conclusion, teaching critical thinking to children at an early stage is essential for empowering them to succeed in a complex and rapidly changing world.

By nurturing their ability to think critically, we equip them with the skills and mindset they need to navigate life's challenges, make informed decisions, and become thoughtful and responsible members of society.

Let's invest in our children's future by prioritizing the teaching of critical thinking today!

In the next post I will be talking about ways to teach you children how to think critically.

To our Students and Beloved Parents, we want to wish you a Blessed New Week!!!

We are gradually approaching the exam week. this is the best time to start encouraging your child to read. if need be, settle down to study with them. cut them no slack, pressurize them to bring out the best in them.

Truth is teachers can only do as much as they can, it is left for the parents to cooperate with the school by staying on the tail of their children, giving them no rest at home until they have read enough and be able to answer whatever questions you throw to them.

in a subsequent post, i will be sharing helpful tips on how to help your child study effectively.

HAPPY NEW WEEK!!!!!

in sequel to the posts i made about praying for your children, we have put together the following confessions you can adopt and use to pray over your children.

Father I confess Your Word over my children. I confess that my children are taught of the Lord and great is their peace and undisturbed composure. [Is 54:13]

My children grow in wisdom and stature and have favor with God and man. [Luke 2:52]

I have trained up my children in the way they should go, and when they are old they will not turn from it. [Proverbs 22:6]

Your angels keep charge over my children to accompany and defend them and preserve them in all their ways. [Ps 91:2]

You Lord are their refuge and fortress. You are their glory and the triumph of their heads. [Ps 91]

I confess that my children delight themselves in the Lord and You give them the desires of their heart. [Ps 37:4]

I confess that my children are willing and obedient and they eat the best of the land. [Is 1:19]

I confess that my children obey their parents in the Lord. My children honor, esteem, and value as precious their parents, for this is the first command with promise, that it may be well with my children and they may live long on the earth. [Eph 6:2]

My children choose life and love you Lord and obey Your voice and cling to You; for You are their life and the length of their days.

I plead the blood of the Lord Jesus on my children, my (future) grandchildren, and all those You have given me in this life.

Hey Teens,

As we celebrate Valentine's Day, it's important to remember that love is about more than just physical intimacy. While it's natural to feel tempted by the romantic atmosphere of this holiday, it's crucial to be aware of the potential dangers of engaging in premarital s*x.

1. Emotional Consequences: S*x is a deeply emotional act that can have lasting effects on your mental and emotional well-being. Premarital s*x can lead to feelings of guilt, regret, and confusion, especially if it occurs in a casual or non-committed relationship.

2. Physical Risks: Engaging in unprotected s*x can expose you to the risk of s*xually transmitted infections (STIs) and unplanned pregnancies. It's essential to prioritize your health and well-being by practising celibacy till you get married.

3. Impact on Future Relationships: Premarital s*x can impact your future relationships and how you view intimacy. It's important to establish healthy boundaries.

4. Pressure and Peer Influence: The pressure to engage in s*xual activity, especially on Valentine's Day, can come from peers, social media, and cultural norms. Remember that it's okay to say no and prioritize your own values and beliefs over societal expectations.

5. Personal Values and Beliefs: Ultimately, the decision to engage in premarital s*x is a personal one that should align with your values, beliefs, and readiness. Take the time to reflect on what love means to you and make choices that honor God, your own well-being and the well-being of others.

This Valentine's Day, let's celebrate love according to God's Word. Remember, true love respects boundaries, prioritizes consent, and values emotional connection above physical desires.

Stay safe, stay empowered, and remember that you are worthy of love and respect, always.

Last week, I made a post on how to help your slow learner. In this post I will be emphasizing that post with a story

Let's embark on a heartfelt journey through the vibrant streets of Nigeria, where every child's educational story is as unique as the colors of our culture.

Meet Ngozi, a resilient parent determined to bring out the best in her slow-learning child, Chijioke.

In the bustling city of Osogbo, Chijioke, like many children, found joy in the rhythm of life but faced challenges in keeping pace with his studies. Ngozi, a beacon of strength, recognized the importance of embracing Chijioke's uniqueness.

1. Understanding the Beat of Chijioke's Learning Style:
- Ngozi, with her discerning eyes, noticed Chijioke thrived in hands-on experiences. She tailored her support, incorporating the rich Nigerian storytelling tradition and practical lessons into his studies.

2. Crafting a Haven of Learning in Their Home:
- Amid the sounds of the city, Ngozi created a peaceful corner at home. With soft light and minimal distractions, it became a sanctuary where Chijioke could immerse himself in the world of books and knowledge.

3. Setting Realistic Goals, Celebrating Small Wins:
- Ngozi learned to set goals that honored Chijioke's progress. Every small victory, from mastering a challenging concept to completing a task independently, was celebrated with joyous dances and hearty meals.

4. Tapping into the Rich Tapestry of Nigerian Culture:
- Ngozi encouraged Chijioke to explore Nigeria's rich cultural tapestry. Whether learning history through traditional dances or mathematics through market transactions, Chijioke found joy in connecting his education to the vibrant world around him.

5. Seeking Community Support:
- Ngozi, recognizing the strength in unity, sought the support of the local community. With the wisdom of elders and the camaraderie of fellow parents, she gained insights and shared experiences that enriched Chijioke's educational journey.

6. Celebrating Progress at the Community
- The community became a stage for Chijioke's progress. Ngozi proudly showcased his achievements, reminding the community that every child has a unique rhythm, and the melody of success is different for each.

7. Embracing a Growth Mindset:
- Inspired by the tales of resilience in Nigerian folklore, Ngozi instilled a growth mindset in Chijioke. The belief that challenges were stepping stones to success resonated deeply with him.

In this tale of triumph, Ngozi's love, patience, and cultural wisdom created a harmonious environment where Chijioke's unique learning style flourished. Together, they proved that every child's journey is a celebration of their distinct rhythm in the symphony of education.

As we navigate the educational landscape in Nigeria, let's draw inspiration from Ngozi and Chijioke's story. Every child, like the beat of our nation, has a unique rhythm waiting to be discovered and celebrated.
lets learn to identify and celebrate the uniquenss of our children. For therein lies their super power.

No matter how good and dedicated teachers are, students need to be willing to learn. This Chinese proverb has said it all – students need to take the first step forward in gaining knowledge by being diligent and studios else the teacher's effort would be in vain.

HAPPY NEW WEEK!
