As a mother, aunt and sibling I want the best for all children. The African proverb:
is even more relevant in today's world of megacities. Parents are busier than ever. Most working longer hours. Its a constant struggle to juggle work and home life. Statistics show that in the next 20 years, the close extended family units will be a thing of the past."it takes a village to raise a child"
A lot of us are worried about the future of our children. In 99% of households the television is what socializes our children. Believe me when I tell you the messages being passed along are not wholesome. A few examples...the story of the ordinary little girl who becomes a princess in a castle where she wears an amulet and casts spells, think about it, that's witchcraft, the popular mouse and cat, who they constantly torment each other. The young boy who has 10 spirits living in him, he can take on their persona when he turns the dial on his watch, that is what psychiatrics refer to as split personality disorder! Are those who you want as your child's role models???
I don't know about you but I am NOT a super parent. I would rather watch the Real Housewives of Atlanta, where I drool over Nene's Loubitans or watch Kenya "twirl". I confess I finished watching Kandi's wedding special only last night. When my child is telling me about their day at school, my eyes glaze over....I need help as much as the next mum who is willing to admit it.
Then I thought to myself what if I could create the Stepson's wives version of a child? One who would be kind and considerate not loud and demanding. One who listens to instructions the first time round, one who is helpful around the house...if only pigs could fly! However I know its possible to have a happy medium.
I did my research and enrolled in the prestigious International Etiquette and Protocol Academy of London. Past clients have included First Ladies of nations, Saudia Arabian Princes and Princesses and members of the British Royal family.
I qualified as an International Youth Etiquette Consultant. I acquired the skills to help you achieve your dreams for your children and reinforce the already excellent job you are doing. I lay emphasis on our unique Cultural identity to give it its rightful place in today's world.
I am qualified to offer a variety of programs to suit all children ages 4-17. Programs that help build the right character in your children. You will agree that excelling in academics is no longer sufficient, when last were you asked what the boiling point of water is? but everyday you meet with people, have conversations with them and may need to sell your ideas or goods.
...No one wants the academically brilliant but socially inept child still living at home aged 40! Start Socializing your child the right way...sign up for Etiquette Classes.

Way to go girl!!
ReplyDeleteGreat points! LOL @ your eyes glazing over when your child tells you about their day in school, I can SO relate. Looking forward to hearing more about your programs
ReplyDeleteBeing a balanced (ie not just paying school fees but also seeing to the social development of the child) parent requires almost as much or at times even much more determination than trying to loose weight or stay in shape. One really has to be focused to achieve ones aim. This is a truly inspiring piece. Well done ma. Looking forward to reading more like it.
