Preventing Child Abuse and Neglect

Children have the right to feel loved and protected. Since children have limited capacity for reason and logic, the child’s parent, guardian or caregiver is there to provide the nurturing a child needs to grow to be a positive contributor in life and society. The caregivers are there to give their best to the child and look out for the child’s best interest.

Parenting tips can be picked up, but the act of parenting is a learned skill. Sometimes, the caregiver may be in a position that compromises their ability and responsibility to nurture their children. Perhaps the caregiver may have suffered a job loss or maybe a relationship between adults is having problems. Stresses like these can become too much to bear and the parental experience may feel overwhelming. Unfortunately the child may be in an environment or home where the caregiver is letting these factors get the better of them, thus hindering the well-being and development of the child, BUT with prevention and programs available to help fullfill the needs of both the child and caregivers, child abuse and neglect never needs to begin.

Providing a home environment that is filled with empathy, generosity, compassion, kindness and consideration creates an ideal learning area for your children. When children witness your positive behavior, they have a greater tendency to model it.

Career Choice and Fulfillment

About 20 years ago, when I was in Senior Secondary School, I was often asked by elders about what I wanted to become. I remember that my answer was always, unhesitatingly, ‘Computer Engineer' (much to their surprise). Then, on one occasion, at a family function in Lagos, my uncle’s friend, who had a ‘good career’ going, told me in no uncertain terms that Computer Engineering wouldn’t do as a career.

Eighteen years hence, I’ve missed my Computer Engineering bus, and, working in the banking sector, I still ask these questions.
