In most African homes however, when people are asked to regulate how much responsibility to give to a child, they think the children are being lazy. The pressure to be perfect fronts every decision they are about to make. It has to be spotless since those after them are watching and could pick a leaf.

It’s often portrayed as an ideal way to connect and intentionally get to know someone on a deeper level to determine if they’re a suitable partner for a long-term, committed relationship, leading to marriage.
Many men who become fathers today grew up without positive father figures. This absence of good role models often leads to difficulties in parenting.

There has been a rampant rage of fires that have destroyed educational institutions, particularly secondary and primary schools.
It is good news to have all our children back home from school. I congratulate the candidates at all levels who completed their final exams. I also congratulate children who were not candidates upon finishing the year and for getting promoted to other classes.
We have all gone through grief at a certain point in our lives, be it the loss of a loved one, divorce, or the sudden end of a relationship, among others. This will require us to go in for counseling or therapy as a way to recover from this situation.
