Children: Our most valuable natural resource.
Getting Ready for School
Summer is one of the most exciting and favorite times of the years for kids. It’s the few months of freedom they are able to have. Once those seemingly short weeks are over though, they have to go back to school. It can be hard trying to get your kids ready to go back, but here are a few things you can do to help ease them into the school routine again.

Parenting: Understanding Children Behavior
Parenting is not easy. It requires a lot of heart, dedication, and passion to raise a child the way they need to be raised, which is the right way. Raising a child is hard, especially when you’re new to it and you have totally no idea what to do and how to do things. In parenting, you need to understand your child’s behavior, his patterns, and his personality. By doing so, it will be easier for you to adjust how you should discipline him to be a responsible being in the society.

Sex Ed is Still Shambles
I came across this articles published by the BBC yesterday on my daily scroll on the filth that is Facebook. 'Hull school 'sorry' after pupils researched porn homework on web' - the title aptly states. Naturally, my interest is piqued. On the one hand, in the middle of a pandemic and on the brink of a financial and economic disaster this is absolutely appropriate to be reported because of the yummy-mummy outrage it must've inspired in the Northern community of Hull...Well, no. Actually on the contrary... On the other hand, if I were a 13-year old little lad starting to get into boobs, I'd say they got a happy accident for homework. If my teacher provided us with some steamy stuff I bet they could've garnered a dainty Teacher-of-the-Fucking-Century award real swiftly. Alas, they did not.

'What' and 'How' You Say Things Affects Your Child's Temperament
How often have we been told that we should choose our words wisely or think before speaking? A lot of timings. But how many times do we actually abide by this advice? Rarely, right? As per an article published by the United Press International, some studies conducted by cognitive scientists claim that our speech and choice of words are partially planned. That means we don’t think before opening our mouth.

Child's Matter
I wanted to start describing our role as childcare providers, either at home, working in private families or in the public or private sector as practitioners. Both places are not far from being the same, taking in consideration the number of children you work with.

My Open Letter to My Black Sons
When I found out that I was expecting each of you, I loved you both before I had the pleasure of laying eyes on you. My dreams and wishes for you and your future were grand and vast. Even as infants, I knew unequivocally that you were placed on the Earth for great things. Now here we are in the year 2020, you are seven and ten years old with a lifetime ahead of you, at least that is what I pray. A lifetime...what does that really mean? Most believe it is living well into your twilight years, old and gray, having lived a full and enriching life. There is now a new definition of lifetime based upon how long you physically survive all of the obstacles and tribulations that will be placed before you. For many that idea of a lifetime, is aborted before it can be fully realized.
