Childhood worries
Just like adults, children also have their fair share of daily demands, worries and concerns. When I look back on my own childhood, I can see that I had more than my fair share.
I would withdraw for short periods, then when it was time to face the world, I would deal with those realities. Sadly, worries tend to start around the time children start school, due to the endless …

Something inspirational:
“People say “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” True, but it goes beyond that. Don’t judge a book by its first words, first paragraphs, even its first pages. In fact, don’t judge a book until you have fully read and comprehended it.”

Nobody but myself
Something inspirational:
“All my life I had been looking for something and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naïve. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except …

Setting the standards
Parents tend to set the standards from a very early age. But one of the most important factors of any child’s upbringing is what that child is exposed to from childhood into adulthood, therefore it’s important we set the right standards.
Sadly, children are not only influenced by their parents, but by other family including their grandparents, aunts, uncles etc. It is those influences that will also have an impact, so it’s important their …
