For Parents Like You Hilda-Joy O'Connor

Joining us today is Peace Anumah who is a registered Member (MBACP) and Accredited (ACC) professional therapist and counsellor. Peace has over 16 years of experience working in mental health and over 14 years of experience working in the counselling and therapy field. On this episode we discuss the negative effect that abuse can have on a child's mental, emotional and physical development.

Every child is unique; the way we discipline one child may not necessarily work for another. It's important as parents to understand the development stages of our children. No child should be forced into submission. Our children should be treasured and we are called to guide, love and accept them unconditionally.

Child abuse is a wide spread problem in our world. Joining us to speak on this subject matter is Tosin Lewana who is a mother to two teenagers. Tosin was born and raised in Nigeria. Tosin shares with us her love for her culture as well as some of the issues that culture can produce when raising children.

No child should ever be subjected to abuse based on what culture dictates; rather, a child should feel safe, loved and accepted. It is imperative that we as parents take the time to reflect on our history and learn from the mistakes of our past and choose to do better by breaking the cycle of generational abuse!

Let’s be driven by good moral values to do right by our children.

Many of us have, or will face some sort of adversity in life that can be stressful, frightening and even distressing. If we do not seek the professional help and support that we need, we may find ourselves struggling to cope and prolonging the impact of trauma in our lives and relationships. We need to become aware of our triggers and make sure our physical and emotional needs are being taken care of.

On this episode, we are joined by Jamilah Musah who is an Assistant Psychologist, a mother of two and a wife. Jamilah explains to us what trauma is, what causes it, how it can impact our mental wellbeing and the ways we can receive support. You can connect with Jamilah Musah on: Twitter -@jamilahmusah1

On this episode, we have Joyce Oyedele who is an author, educator and a personal development coach. Joyce is also the head teacher at her sixth form college. She shares with us the importance of why parents need to be involved in every area of their child’s development, not just the academic side. Spending quality time to get to know your children will ultimately help you to understand them better. Parents, keep affirming your child rather than focusing on their bad behaviour. The words you speak over them have power and can determine what type of person they become. It is crucial for us as parents to create an environment where our children can thrive, feel loved and feel valued.

On this episode, we have Hayley Earley who is a mother to three boys aged 8, 6 and 2 years old. Hayley shares with us the relationship dynamics between her boys and the importance of cultivating friendship and love between siblings. Our children are not for us to keep. They are a gift from God, therefore coming alongside and co-parenting with Christ Jesus will help to raise them up in a Godly way. Hayley also speaks about the importance of breaking the cycle of systematic racism. It is not good enough to remain silent to injustice; we need to talk about this so that healing can take place. We have a responsibility to change our generational mindset and the first place where to begin is in our homes. We must teach our children to respect each other and those from other cultures.
