When you refuse to apologize to a child, you’re unintentionally teaching them that you are always right and that saying “sorry” is a sign of weakness. But children learn by watching you. If you never apologize, they grow up believing apologies don’t matter especially to you.
As they get older and become exposed to the “magic words” of courtesy; sorry, please, excuse me, thank you, pardon me, they start to see the contradiction. That’s when some children begin to look you straight in the face without saying “sorry,” no matter how much you expect it. And that’s where the frustration begins.
When children realize you demand what you don’t model, you lose moral authority. Eventually you’ll find yourself negotiating basic respect from them, simply because the foundation wasn’t laid early.
So yes, children deserve apologies and explanations.
Not because they are small, but because they are humans learning from you in real time. When you show humility, they mirror it. When you normalize apologies, they grow into adults who can own their mistakes.
No one can argue that the fastest growing sector is not the prayer ministry sector. Check billboards to give you an indication of where advert revenues are coming from.
elected representatives assumes the status of God they want the citizens to come and be begging them for what is rightfully theirs reels #politics #religion #reelsviralシ
Your frustrations towards others has little to do with who they are or what they did..
Rather, it tells a lot about you!
You're either an experience your children will spend the rest of their lives healing from..
Or be the experience that helps your children heal.
How are your children experiencing you?
when i was rent-living in port harcourt, i used to think the main things that mattered when renting a house were the house itself, the rent and how close it was to work but then i lived somewhere where going outside for a simple walk was almost impossible.
like the busy road, cars everywhere, nowhere comfortable to walk. the whole area just made you want to stay inside so that's what i always did.
wake up, get in the car, drive to work, come back, park and go inside.
then one evening i visited my hommie tega who lived in another part of ph city, that euc gra area. after dinner, he said we should take a walk. we just walked around the neighbourhood for about 30 mins. we didn't gym or workout and had no particular destination in mind. just walking and talking,you know
and i remember thinking, i could actually do this every evening if i lived somewhere like this.
I feel bad going to a state with no functional airport just imagining situations now, in a nice, ac fitted with 2 people with body odor. Life don tire me and I have not eaten my body is shaking
I just see fools everyday who are men! Your parents who raised you are not enough, your siblings are not an enough for you to want more out of life.
If you read is comment you will see exactly what it result to when it’s a woman
I think we men hate to admit that having a woman that constantly bills us actually makes us hustle harder and stay locked in.
Imagine a single man that only works for himself. No pressure to do more. No one depending on him. No real pressure pushing him to wake up every morning and chase the bag harder.
We men know this secret, we just choose to keep it to ourselves.
Same reason I believe early marriage can help young men.
Waiting till 35 before getting married won’t automatically make you richer. Dangote, Otedola and many other successful men took on serious responsibilities very early and still built empires.
Last year I had a four day assignment for 200k which I engage a guy and he did complete rubbish for me in the first 2days now I am in that state now and I’m traveling tomorrow, scared to engage anyone.
The biggest impact of Dr David Oyedepo is when you meet CU graduates across the globe. Those guys are not normal. Something was done to their mind in that school because what they demand out of life isn’t ordinary.
Many of them are tech giants and behind some of the most
