Will Coaching help your child? Listen to this short intro and watch out for the full episode, coming soon. Best wishes, CL

Don't put the cart before the horse.... You can' t be friends with your child until you have first become their parent. What will that friendship be about? What would be the point of reference? ------- If you parent right when they are young, however unpopular that makes you in their eyes, then you have something to be friends about when they become adults. Don't be afraid to be the parent now! Happy Parenting, CL

Where Has Common Sense Gone? ----- Have "Human Rights" replaced Common Sense or have parents become derelict in their duty to "train up" their children? Parents, are we neglecting our duty to "train up" or is this generation of children becoming difficult to raise?

"THEY'VE LOST THE PLOT!" - Kofo Adewunmi Watch this clip of my interview with The Sage - a Wise Woman, Pastor and seasoned parent of 3 young adults. I've had the privilege of knowing and working with Kofo (Sis K, I call her), for over 20 years. Now, I am ready to share her rare gift of knowledge and wisdom with my world. Full interview coming next week!

Multitasking doesn't mean they are clever; it means they are DISTRACTED!

Do you suspect anything? ------- If you did, would you cover it up and pray that your child gets over it, or would you get professional help?

Memories That Don't Go Away ------------ I can't help wonder what would have happened if I'd told my sister what her boyfriend did to me. I also now play back in my head what my dad would have done if I told him about the "Man of God" he brought into our house. Would they both have given me a good lashing or would they have thrown those men out of our house? Well, I'll never know now and it doesn't matter anymore. But you get a chance to hear the despicable acts of these men against a girl-child that was me. Blessings! CL

Why Don't They Come Forward When It Happens? ------- Listen to what others had to say: Why children don't report abuse; Why women keep quiet for years.....even forever about harassment. Let me know what you think, and feel free to share your own stories.💖 Blessings! CL

Abuse at home is a most destructive experience on a child's mind. But for God, some children, adults never make it back. Listen on and do please drop your comments. Happy Parenting, CL

The Natasha/Apkabio story brought out experiences I had buried for years. But now it's time to tell it all. It's going to be impromptu and it's going to be raw. Follow on! CL

The story is everywhere, even at the UN. But like every trending story, are we soon going to get tired of it and move on to the next big story or will we use this story to open up the biggest issue plaquing women in Nigeria and all around the world? Could we as Mothers learn from this story and use it to retool ourselves? If we can't change or influence the "old dogs", we can at least retool and reshape the future. That is the duty of every MOTHER. We determine the future by influencing the present. Let's do it! CL

The Nigeria elections are just a couple of weeks away, there is economic and social crises. Join us in praying for the Mercy of God upon Nigeria. May God have mercy on our "leaders". May evil abate and may righteousness prevail in the land.

"Is it really a New Year"? That's the question I find myself asking every 31st day of December when I see people "loose their heads" over what we deem a "New Year".  Look around you and try to answer the question: "Is it really a New Year"? The obvious answer now and at every turn of the calendar is, "NO!!" The Year only becomes "New" for you if and when you choose to make it New! And that, you don't need to wait till 31st of December to do. ----- Listen to this podcast and draw inspiration on how I set my New Year, my New Month and my New Day! Here is the link to the book I referenced in this episode by Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington  https://amzn.to/3Y8voOq

Now this is my Son - my first son, playing the "Parental Coach". Listen in to hear what he had to say and why this is important for you as a Parent in this century. ----- We can only raise leaders by empowering followers! Happy Parenting, CL
