SUPERHEROES' SKILLS

        SUPERHEROES' SKILLS

Parents are superheroes.They ought to be given those superheroes names and powers.

Parents are on a special assignment here on earth. If I should write a  script for them, they will be able to perform all superheroes' powers. Infact, I will invent other powers that are yet to exist.

Don't ever underestimate yourselves. I marvel at what parents can do. There is need to expose your children to the realities of life early.

Most times, parents over protect their children and wait too late to expose them to being superheroes early in life.

 

Let children too start their superheroes' journey on time. The more you allow them to face the realities of life, the stronger they become.

You will notice that the domestic staff that work in most homes are usually stronger than the children of the house. The reason is that these staff have started playing thie superheroes' roles at a very early age. 

Over sheltering and over protectiveness most times do not allow children to thrive the way they ought to.

Please allow your children to start to learn their superheroes' skills early.

DON'T RAISE SCAREDY CATS

It is the responsibility of parents to keep their children safe. We appreciate that very much. It is also their responsibility to teach them bravery.

God has not given you the spirit of fear, rather he has given you the spirit of of love, power and sound mind.

As parents, if you show that you are fearful, then you can't teach our children to be brave.

Parents need to know how to deal with fear so that they won't raise Scaredy cats.


                                                            

LESSONS FROM THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD

(1) There is power in thinking right. Be like the little blue train (engine), let your thoughts be positive, when they are, you are energised and motivated to accomplish whatever you set your mind to do.

(2) The little engine thought it could do it and it did it. There is a saying that 'If your mind can think it, you can do it.' Once you think that you can do anything, if you work at that thing hard enough, you will surely succeed in it.

(3) The little engine encouraged itself by saying, "I think i can, i think i can." You need to tell yourself always who you are and what you can do. Positive self talk helps to shape and mold people's lives and character.

(4) The little engine was focused on its goal to pull the big engine over the mountain. Irrespective of the height of the mountain, the size of the big train, the time and hard work the task would require, were not the little engine's concern. Its concern was to accomplish its goal. It was not deterred by the circumstances surrounding it. Always stay focused on your goal, do not allow obstacles to paralyse or distractions to hinder you from reaching your goal.

(5) The little engine was determined never to see limitations. It rather saw an opportunity to help, to prove its worth. Be determined to succeed in all you do.

(6) The little engine succeeded where other bigger ones have failed. Wherever you are, when others are thinking in the negative and saying "I can't, it is difficult," be strong. Your slogan should always be, "I can!"

(7) The story portrayed an act of bravery. People who think right, are always very brave. They don't entertain any fear. They are always bold to take on new challenges and explore new terrains at whatever cost. Be brave and face any task or obstacle with boldness.

(8) Though the train was small, yet it performed a task that other larger engines could not. Do not underestimate your ability. You can never know what you can do unless you try.

(9) The little train was moved by the need of the big train. It was its own way of showing kindness to an engine in need. Show kindness in any little way to those around you. Always be ready to help.

XERXES AND THE HAPPY BONES

Xerxes was a brown little hyper dog  that belonged to Yale. They both loved taking a walk every evening. 

One day, as usual, Xerxes and Yale were excitedly walking down the road when Xerxes saw a bone.

Immediately, Xerxes left Yale's side and went after the bone.

"Xerxes, come back here!" Yale shouted. Xerxes ignored him.

The bone started bouncing down the road while Xerxes chased after it.

Yale was scared that he might either loose Xerxes or he might come to harm, so he ran after Xerxes.

As Yale ran after Xerxes, he called out, "Xerxes! Xerxes! stop!

Yet, the dog ignored the call.

The bone took a turn into a dark alley, still Xerxes did not turn back. The more they moved, the darker it became.

Suddenly, Xerxes found himself surrounded by other bones.

More and more bones kept coming out.

"You are Xerxes?" The bones growled in unison.

"Ye...ye.. yes," Xerxes answered in fright. "Ple... Please let...let me go." He begged.

Immediately, Xerxes started to pee on himself.

The bones ignored him. They continued to close in on him.

"Pleeeeeeeease, let me go!" Xerxes cried out.

Xerxes wished he had listened to Yale.

To be continued in the book titled:  "Xerxes And The Happy Bones," ( yet to be published).

PRO-KIDZ: WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT KIDS

As adults, we need to help children define some things in life. We can't leave them to do just anything they like without pointing out to them the good and the bad. It is in knowing that they make their choices as they grow.

At Pro-Kidz, we are children, parents and teachers oriented. We are concerned about the character and emotional development of children. We are also interested in the well-being of parents and all stakeholders of children development.

We believe that parents and teachers should expose children to positive nurturing as early as their infancy. They should be particular about the character and habits they form.

The positive lifestyle we nurture as parents or teachers will positively enhance the qualities of a child's choices, decisions, life skills, attitude and character. It will also impact positively on his/her actions, ability to handle life's challenges and reasoning skills.

Oftentimes, parents, care givers and teachers always focus on academics  rather than character. They are quick to teach them school work or map out curriculum for them and disregard the issue of character development. At Pro-Kidz, we believe that once a child has his or her foundation embedded on good character, he or she will not have any problem with his or her intellectual abilities.

It is our desire that focus should be shifted to character rather than academics. This will make the future brighter and the world better.

Let us begin to produce a new generation of individuals who will stand out and make the world  stronger, safer and kinder.

NATURE'S BEAUTY

Isabel was a happy little girl who lived with her parents in the woods.

Isabel had a good life. She was surrounded by raw beauty, from the rivers that flow calmly, to the singing birds and the swaying trees.

Isabel would wake up each morning, refreshed, inhaling the lovely fragrances from the work of nature all around her.

It was a heavenly life for Isabel in the woods. Her friends were some lovely animals who came to play with her.

Malakai, the chimp called out" Isabel, hurry up, we are here to play." 

"I will be out in a moment," Isabel responded as she finished putting away the plates she had helped her mother wash.

"Hurry up, i have something to share," Rare the rabbit said.

Isabel's moments with her animal friends bring so much joy to her. She wouldn't dare give up their moments together for anything in the world. 

Story by: Oluwatoyin Molade.

Parents and teachersm, it would be a wonderful experience for your children to enjoy moments like Isabel.

Life close to nature is beautiful and fun. Nature has such calming and soothing effects. It is good for mankind. Nothing can be compared to it.

Please take your children out to explore the nature around you. It is God's gift to mankind, enjoy it 

THE MAKING OF A STAR

THE MAKING OF A STAR

A star is made,
And not born.

A good heart,
Is so key.

And good deeds,
Must shine forth.

Values,
You don't neglect.

Your words too,
Should give life.

And hard work,
Your best friend.

A good brain,
must you have.

Through all these
A star is made.

NOTE :

Up there in the sky, during a starry night, we can see stars which shine so bright and radiate beauty.  

We can compare these stars to children all over the world. They are all beautiful gifts from God. 

Parents owe these young minds the  duty of building good character and high my oral values in these them. That is when they can stand out amongst their peers. And it is only those ones who stand out and  influence others positively that you can refer to as stars.

Parents, please impact your children positively, show them good examples, train them up to posses good character and teach them high moral values so that their light can shine so bright like stars that shine so bright during a starry night.
