I could write a whole list of wonderful talents that if nurtured would have given me limitless avenue to self actualisation and fulfillment
I did not have much information on ground or means to nurture these talents coupled with the fact that I was patiently waiting to grow up for things to figure out itself.
Well, I am all grown now and the wait is over, however I wish I did not wait till I am all grown up to explore all my God given talents.
Most of these talents will remain untapped and unused.
Dear parents,
Please do not wait until your child grow up before nurturing their God’s given talent, every child is born with one or two or even more.
During the holidays try to explore other choices aside summer lessons
Endeavour to be informed yourself, carry out researches, you do not need to be educated to do so, ask questions when necessary.
Encourage them to participate in their School’s Extracurricular activities, to take up leadership roles when possible, to volunteer in different roles to have a first hand knowledge and experience of what is expected of them.
Register them for:
Start now to teach them how to generate income, do not wait till they grow up.
A lot of adults can not manage their income well because they were not taught how to do so.
Teach them saving culture.
Teach them about taking responsibilities.
High achieving youths are not people that waited till they grew up to start, but people that started as early as they can.
The labour market is filled with a lot of competitions and if you want to give your Child a good start, start now:
Above all believe in your child’s dream no matter how unrealistic it may seem, it will go along way in building their self confidence, do not limit your child by your own ignorance.
Try and stay informed as a parent and watch as your child reach his/ her greatest potential.
