A child finds an attractive pencil. Start with the practical next step: “Someone may be looking for that.
Let us take it to the agreed place for found items.”
Avoid asking the child to locate a stranger alone.

“Can I borrow it?” is most likely the beginning.

Help a child add, “When would you like it back?” or "When should I return it?"

Then choose a safe place to keep the item until it is returned.

Let them learn that access does not mean ownership.

“Go and make friends” is a big instruction.

Try a smaller one: watch the game, then ask, “Can I join the next round?”

Practise together before a playdate. #ChildFirst

Speak words of life prophetically over your children every day. Prophesy into their future.

The child who answers back may not yet know how to express frustration respectfully. This doesn't mean every behaviour should be excused. Understanding a child is not the same as excusing their behaviour. It is how we guide them more effectively.

Before your children head out to school and go about the day's activities, cover them in prayer.🔥🙌

Remember, when adults align, children thrive. #thechildfirstdevinitiative #victoriaolapade

Your children should not be trained with a "payback" mentality.

Watch this if you are a parent who often doesn't understand your reactions to your child.

A mother is also a nation.

She can build an empire within and without her family.

How would you know if your child can solve a problem if you didn't notice those little things?

As a parent, you can give your child their first platform to shine or express the innate gifts in them.

This is what happens when a child makes a mistake.

Understand that before they learn from the mistake, they will learn from your reaction to their mistake.

Sometimes, the difference between fear and confidence is not what happened. It is what happened next.

I'm an advocate for children. Encouraging parents to pursue their goals is still very healthy for children.
