Teach your kids the Word of God
And to do that, you too have to be in Christ.

(2) Dear Parents
If you must get your children Android Portable Devices, you need to follow the below steps to be safe:
1. Register a gmail account for them with the correct age and with your email as the parent.
2. Install Google Family Link on your own phone.
3. Add their registered e-mail to your Google Family Link.
4. Factory Reset their android device if they already have one then login the device with their own gmail account that is linked to your Google Family Link.
5. If it is new device, make sure it is their gmail you use to activate the device.
6. Immediately you carry out step 4 & 5 above, your phone will get a notification to allow them activate the device, this is the beginning of you taking control from anywhere.
7. All adult content of any form will never load in their phone.
8. They cannot install anything without your approval remotely from the Family Link.
9. You can lock their device from anywhere.
10. You can set a start and stop time for their device usage, the phone will lock when it gets to that time even if you forget.
11. YouTube will not allow them see adult content too.
12. There is also YKids, which is YouTube for Kids, I recommend you remove the normal YouTube and give them YKids.
13. From your Google Family Link, you can see how long they stayed on each app or page to warn them where necessary.
14. You will see as much as major details of the app.
Dear Parents, let's protect the morality of our Children.

I learned from my sis that it's important for the kids to read the newspaper every morning and also watch the evening news. Her first boy reads the papers and has to tell his mother the news. Sometimes she asks him what are his views and opinions on current happenings. She uses that opportunity to school him on how much evil is out there and why its very easy to be a prey and victim. She even reminds him how cruel the world is to children especially.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a parent but if or when I am, why should my kid(s) have a phone in the first place? Or isn't phone for communication again? Who does he or she want to communicate with online? Don't we have real people in our lives that he or she can communicate with in this real life? Who is he or she calling or texting? What memories are you trying to archive that you need to take photos and put it on social media? Ki lo se photo album? If I'm too concerned about him or her and need to call to check up on her or him while they are at school or somewhere, I'll get them any phone but a smart phone. I also think it's important to talk to kids as adults sometimes. That doesn't mean I'll deprive them of having a normal childhood, it just means I'll help awaken their consciousness early to know that people aren't what they seem to be. I'll hammer it into their heads 'Do not trust anyone'
Also, I'll let them have friends and make them comfortable bringing home their friends. I'll make my house that house where my boys can bring their friends over to smoke weed and where my girls can bring over their ashawoistic friends. It's better to have a free hand with them so they can tell you everything than to have a strict hand with them and they hide things from you and be doing world class atrocities. If they will hide gaan, they will still hide...but let the home always be their go-to spot anytime in this life.

The newspaper thing, my dad did it to us,he made us read the paper and watch the news, then we will explain it to him
DeleteNews paper is a very good idea. My mum did it to us, I've passe it on to my children.
DeleteIt actually helps children with verbal reasoning and it's brought a bond in our family
I used to admire my cousins the way they dragged newspapers from their dad when they come to the village then. It helped them.
DeleteMe na Igbo novel I dey read then.
I no go buy android o. Na touch light phone I bought for my kids. Things happenning in this world is out of hand. May God help us.
The Bible
ReplyDeleteTeaching them God's way's
Apart from teaching them the way of the Lord, be a good example to them as a parent. As adults, some of our actions are what we learnt from our parents. Teach them to make the right decisions and have self discipline even if you're not there so that in the face temptation they will make the right choice.
ReplyDeleteVery true, be a good example.
DeleteI shout a lot and very defensive and I noticed my first child started doing the same, I had to pray and fast and also change my attitude.
Couldn't stand seeing my child do that, it was very irritating.
Kids emulate and learn so fast from their surrounding.
A cat can't give birth to a dog .
so true, that example part is the real deal,most parents na do as I talk no do as I do. That's why some children are wayward.Some parents even lie on the phone in front of their kids, some hide money from their husbands In front of their kids etc and tomorrow u think they will be different all because you tell them not to do it. Children learn by example.
DeleteGod bless you anon.
Some parents have nothing to offer their children. Be careful when choosing a life partner, especially ladies.
DeleteWhen the head of home as a man lacks common sense you are on a 'long thing'.
Love this topic 👏 I am here to read and learn. May God help us to raise Godly children in this generation.
ReplyDeleteFor me, tips I am applying include:
ReplyDelete- having discussions with them, either during prayer or just anytime I am free. Forget their blank faces, they soak everything up, consciously or unconsciously.
- give them age appropriate chores, increase their responsibility in small doses. Don’t wait till they are 10 before assigning responsibilities to them.
- make time to teach what’s wrong and right. There is no scarcity of information on lewdness, crime, immortality and decadence out there. We have to counter that at home.
- Be approachable and open to their opinion. You have to build a good relationship with your kids if you want them to value your opinion over others.
- Discipline them in love, don’t turn a blind eye when you see inappropriate behavior
- shield your kids, be careful with nannies and house helps. Be careful with live-in relatives. Be attentive to changes in your children’s disposition.
- strictly monitor them. Sorry but intermittently, I will check your school bags, room cabinet, etc. I am not that parent that will buy a phone for a kid under 14, but let me not talk too much, as I am not there yet. But if I do, I reserve the right to go through the phone.
- if your kids don’t respect you, you can’t instruct them, so live your life in an exemplary manner, be a role model for your kids.
God help us.

First of all, children learn alot through modeling, so you have to be a good role model, that is, be a good example, you and your husband/wife, and make sure people living with you are of good character.
ReplyDeleteConstantly remind them of things that are not good and things you don't like.
Feed them with the word of God always.
Don't choke them and don't be too far emotional.
Always follow your instinct/mind, you are not paranoid.
Let them know they can trust you.
Keep praying for them, life is spiritual jare.
Start the training and discipline very early, even before they are one years old. There is something appropriate for every age.
ReplyDeleteTeach them early to respect and obey constituted authority, that is, you, the parents. Then as they grow older, they are to learn to obey the laws of the land.
There has to be a set of value to instill, if not, the wrong ones will take hold. Christian values are my preferred ones. Teach them to fear God.
Be a good example, children will pattern themselves more after your actions than your words. So if your words and your actions tally, the better.
Be very strict, when they are younger and ease up as they grow older. Apply the cane if necessary before they get to three years. As they grow older the need to apply the cane will lessen or totally disappear and the need to shout would have become minimal. For me, it is almost to late to still have the need to cane 5year olds if they have not already learnt discipline.
As they grow older, become their friend and mentor. Teach them how to relate appropriately with the opposite sex. Teach them about types of relationships and the appropriate times to have them.
Teach them sex education and be very liberal and realistic as you can get. Let them get the more interesting gists from you than from their peers if you can manage it. Make it fun and educative. Learn the appropriate names for body parts and don't cringe at the street versions. Teach decorum and street smarts.
Teach your boys to have sense and face their life purpose early. Teach the girls to keep their virtue and pursue their dreams. They don't have to wait for marriage to be successful in life.
Teach them yourselves about the vices peculiar to their age and society in general. Show them consequences for such vices and prayerfully guide them to avoid them.
Boys and girls must learn how to cook and be domesticated from an early age.
Teach them to respect elders. Teach them to spot predators. Teach them to pray for guidance. God is their ultimate parent.
Teach them a lot of physical skills. If left alone, children of nowadays will focus only on digital screens.
Give them an exciting childhood to remember.
Discipline appropriately, and don't compromise on showing a lot of love.
The kind of training you give your children will help them survive on their own wherever they see themselves.
ReplyDeleteCatch them young. I can't believe seeing adults with 'long throat syndrome' begging strangers food not like they are really hungry. Then I wonder maybe they did not teach them as kids about strangers.
I read this with my two kids_age 10 n 8. We digested it well,line after lines.esp d comment of d arc ed and most others.i have never comment on SDK,my son who is 10yrs said "mummy write a comment,write this makes a lot of sense" infact,I am going to share some of these comments.thanks SDK for creating this content.
ReplyDeleteNo matter how we want to give them the best, without telling them about God, we do nothing.
ReplyDeleteCatch them young for Christ so that they won't depart from it.
Christ has given us freedom but that doesn't mean that we should be doing anyhow.
You see all these people that schooled/studied abroad that will be preaching "disciplining a child is child abuse", allow them to express themselves, beating them will kill their self esteem".
Follow their mouths, you go raise wetin go raise you.
From the womb start prophesying good things into the child's life. The world is now bad to ignore certain things about your kids.
If they come back from school, find a way to check their bags. Na so we take check our 8 yrs old cousin's bag and saw a love letter... House scatter that year, we beat'am o. The bobo is married now.
Share house chores to your kids and supervise it, not house help every time. E no easy but with God all things are possible.
