BE THE PARENT THEY NEED


The society is in a deep, long sleep. Nothing is being done; the so-called village elders are ignoring their role. What they used to do in the 19th century has been abandoned because of a new era, an era which is controlled by AI and the internet. In fact, we have forgotten so much that we now allow what used to be an offence to be a guide in today's life. Yes, the world is changing, and we are expected to adjust. But...is it really an adjustment? Leaving behind beliefs, values and guidance ain't adjustments, rather neglects. And as we know, neglects are paid later, even to the 10th generation.
 
What you teach your child today should be what you will feel proud of in maybe 2040, if blessed to reach there. How well do you teach your kids values, church and roles respectively? Are you a parent who sits back and watches? Or the one who would look into the issue and solve it before it escalates to a negative perspective. When you decided to become a parent, it was a decision and choice. The only people spared are those of rape cases and maltreatment. 
 
Giving your child the best is setting the right examples, telling them that what they are doing is wrong. That doesn't mean that you don't love them, but mean standing for what is right. Also, being with them physically, emotionally, and spiritually during their tough times is key. Let the love and ties you shared during their childhood be an endless one. Be close to them, please; they need you, hear their pleas.
The things we see today are concrete evidence of yesterday's teachings. If you teach and encourage your girl child to believe that walking naked is normal, she will nurture it and later use it as a tool for prostitution. On the other hand, if you say that helping is wrong, he will automatically know that that's a waste of time. He will even leave a dying soul to misery just because Mama or Papa said. 
 
Remember kids, never forget, even in old age, we tend to remember the harsh words, cold treatments and the untold 'thank you' from our parents. 
 
Let us rise and try raising them in better ways. They are the future husbands, wives, presidents and employees who need to be nurtured the right way. Fight for their rights, criticise bad behavior and correct wrongdoings. Wasije wakavunja guu kwa sababu ya kukosa maelekeo dhabiti kimsingi.
 
Be the parent they need.

VOICE OF THE BOY CHILD

As much as we aspire to have male children, we are supposed to acquire knowledge in all aspects and in stages required appropriately. The oldest society valued the boy child compared to the girl child. Most heavy duties and taking care of the family were their task. They could look after their mothers even after the passing of the father since it was a mandate, one that couldn't be escaped. Training was done by the elders who made sure that boys were well equipped with skills to empower them and make them good fathers and elders, 'the face of tomorrow.' The core values of the society stipulated that the man was the head of the family and was expected to take good care of the coming generation without a mess. They were also expected to solve social, economic and political issues spotted. A lot has changed since the coming of the white man. Explorers came to bring changes, and they didn't just teach us about life; they ruined our lives. The betterness of the society start...

YOU DESERVE BETTER

 Every woman dreams of Mr Right, and every man dreams of a good wife... You call it 'wife material,' but I beg to differ. It is being a good wife, a wonderful mother and a beautiful image to society. You can have all of the qualities, but still fail to be 'wife material' simply because he knows what he is looking for in a woman. Men say they like what they see, ooh yeah, the figure, skin colour, beauty, among others. Yes, they fall for 'physical features...the mountains, rivers and the green vegetation, I mean, as it is. Women, on the other hand, fall for what they hear; what she is told is enough to make her say 'YES' even when he is not worth it. That's why most women end up being with a man of sweet words rather than one with looks. But later fell for some serious mess which only tore her to pieces, unrecognisable. You know the good thing with love is that it grows to show and bring out the true physical, emotional, spiritual and social values of a pe...

LIFE TRAIL

Many of us get broken, lost and unidentified because when life decides to mess with you,you become humble at its feet. Sometimes we get angry at small things not knowing what lesson they carry. The only option left is to invite your inner self to undergo every challenge you face because you have no option. For instance,breaking up with someone you most cherished and loved is devastating. It could be your parents,siblings,partner or even your kid. But do you know that that is just a lesson to learn? Sometimes you ask yourself questions without getting answers,but instead you got to trust your gut and let it go, because moving on is not a choice but an obligation to take for achieving mental stability. Even if you get drained,always remember that life itself is a lesson and every lesson must be learnt. There is no escape route no matter what or how you do it but rather be able to undergo the challenge for a better personal growth. Stay strong and positive as you wait for the tables to tu...
