Basic Fundamental Tools - WORDS

Let’s look at some of the basic fundamental tools used in the first School of Learning

Words

Word is the first and the most powerful tool in bringing up a child - as good as the word it is a double edged weapon - it can mould the destiny of a child or destroy the life of a child.

What kind of words do you speak to your children or wards? Words of hope or despair, possibility or impossibility, gratitude or ingratitude, complaints or praises, condemnation or commendation, blessings or curses.

Children naturally exhibit most of the characters they learn from home.  A way of instilling these virtues is by living an exemplary life. What virtue are your children learning from you?

Home is fundamental to the development of any Child, it is therefore expedient of us create time to ensure the basic values are instilled in the lives of our children before they pick wrong values that may end up destroying their lives.

Sometimes we wonder how come some children have low self-esteem - it all starts from home. 

The right words with inbuilt ability and treasures were never said by the people they believed so much in – their parents.

Many words are said without saying these right words.  What words do the children pick along the line as they growing up?

In conclusion, parents, guardians and adults cannot give what they do not have and cannot teach what they do not understand.

Living an exemplary life for our children will go a long way in instilling Godly values and virtues into their lives.

Remember the home is the first school of learning for our children.
