Learning. Fun. Games
Global Money Week is 25 – 31st March this year. It’s a week observed in over 150 countries to teach and promote financial literacy among children and young people. I’m sure now that you are older and wiser, you wished someone had taught you a bit more about money to prevent those financial blunders you […]
“An early understanding of financial concepts accounts for the wealth gap between the affluent and those with low incomes”. Now that I am older and wiser, I wish my parents had taught me certain things about money. It would have made a whole lot of difference and made the roads to “riches” a less bumpy […]
My 8-year-old can be really “forgetful”. I seem to have to always remind him to flush after using the toilet. If you send him on an errand from the sitting room to the bedroom, he will most likely come back empty handed. I have lost count of all the things he “forgets”. I guess what […]
There’s practically nothing we celebrate today that our kids don’t get to hear about through the internet or television. I have had my little ones asked countless time today ‘’what is it about women’s day’’?. Yes, today’s kids are very much current, all thanks to technology. So, how would you put your child especially your […]
Imagine what life will be 15 years from now with all the innovations and advancements as well as uncertainties.

So this topic reminds me of how I was booed severally back then in secondary school during every inter class football competition. I was the typical example of “short one’’. (short one is a term used for someone who is unfit in the team). Yes, each time our team plays, I ended up being the […]
Do you spank your kids when they misbehave? Those exasperating moments when we feel like “I can’t believe you just did that” and boom, you drag the child closer to do the judgement accordingly …you relate? Typical African mother style. Does it stop the child from repeating such act next time?
2019 is my year of raising the bar in my intentional parenting and STEM is one focus area. Why you may ask? I worry if my son is achieving the right balance between getting excellent grades, really understanding the topic and the love of learning. Grades and test results are the huge focus in education today, […]
When I try to teach my child’s anything, it can be so frustrating. So, I usually wait till they have been taught in school, then I help reinforce. This has made me appreciate my son’s teacher and teachers in general. Being with my own child for 8 hours tires me out, I can imagine what […]
I look at my son who is just 10yrs, and valentine currently means little or nothing to him. I know in a few years he will join the ‘Valentine Love Train”. I can’t help but wonder about his future girlfriend/spouse. This thought sometimes frightens me because apart from accepting Jesus as His Lord and Saviour, […]
