Being intentional this year is something I speak about all the time ....
But this time, let's look at an often overlooked area .... INTENTIONAL PARENTING!
But I am a good Dad or Mum you may argue...
Yes I know π€
But there's a new side to it, that we will be exploring...
We as parents need to be Intentional about the kind of contents our children consume....
Are they consuming BALANCED DIET?
Don't get me wrong, I don't mean FOOD! ππ
I mean intellectual, spiritual and academic content...BOOKS.....πππππππππ
How many parent Intentionally buy for their children books about, Mindset, spirituality, Goal setting, wealth creation, Social Impact, Sustainable development Goals.....and other personal development areas????
Do you think they are too small to read books like that ππ
No, They are not!
Their brains are like barren lands,
ποΈwhat we plant on them, is what will germinate.
ποΈWhat we design and build on them, is what will stand.
ποΈThe picture we paint, is what will beautify us and the world at large.
A lot of parents can spend money on the most expensive toys, birthday parties, cakes and other things...But will hardly buy personal development book, public speaking books, talents discovery books for their children...
These same parents will complain that their children are shy, not out spoken timid, hostile or are completely clueless about wealth and investing....
If you haven't started, Now is the time to start!
Start investing in books, go to a book store for children, look for books that can challenge their minds ...
If you can't afford that now, search your library or books collection, and check anyone they can start with, before you Intentionally set out to get them more books on other areas of life....
Why is this important????
READERS ARE LEADERS.....
Train them to read because those who read will eventually lead others....
We encouraged our 10 year old son to take on a reading challenge ,and he has so far read
π How to discover your Talent.
πDelligence of labour.
And he has recently moved to....
π Gifted hands by Ben Carson.
Be Intentional about what your children consume (Books)
For those of us parents in the North, our children are going to be at home one full month for the Ramadan period of fasting, Ensure that they don't consume only Cartoon and food.... π
Make arrangement for them to consume Mentally balanced Diet (Books from different genres)
You will be proud of the person you child will become at the end of a month or two...
Your growth Queen is rooting for you πͺπͺ
To be a 2025 INTENTIONAL PARENT OF HONOR ππππ
