There is an agreement that there is lack of effective, purposeful and focused parenting today. Due to some social and economic challenges, many parents are finding it hard giving what it takes to nurture and care for their children properly.
To proffer solution to the problem and find a way forward, stakeholders recently gathered for the Breach Repairers’ National Parenting Conference tagged, Critical Rescue”, to deliberate on the need to rescue the process of parenting the Nigerian child, as well as overhauling the method of rearing children in every aspect and not just education.
The conference, which had in attendance wife of the Vice President, Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo, wife of the Lagos State governor, Mrs. Bolanle Ambode, Ogun State First Lady, Mrs. Olufunso Amosun and First Lady of Akwa Ibom, Mrs. Martha Udom, highlighted the important roles of stakeholders in effective parenting.
Coordinator of the event, Mrs. Nkem Okoro said, “It is often expedient, while training on parenting, to incorporate all concerned, especially parents, teachers, society and government.”
She said parental absenteeism is a huge drawback to effective parenting. This, she attributed to very tight and busy work schedules, which hinder parents from allotting quality time for proper nurture and guidance of their children.
Reminiscing on how it all started, Founder of Breach Repairers, Pastor Chuks Nduka, said the whole concept started many years ago, when as a Youth Corper, he undertook his primary assignment with the Scripture Union in Ogun State.
