    Healthy Ways To Discipline Your Child

    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.

    The Cause And Effect Of Child Abuse

    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. You can connect with Tosin Lewana on: Facebook: @Tosin Lawani Instagram: @Teem4m

    Understanding Childhood Trauma

    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.

    Preparing Your Child For College/Sixth Form

    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.

    Raising Boys To Be Godly Men

    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.

    How To Balance Marriage, Children And Career (Part 2)

    We are back with part 2 from last week's episode. Shivon and Bright Oduro-Kwateng speak about the health challenges surrounding their son who has hypoplastic left heart syndrome. He was born with half a heart and was only given two weeks to live. He has had to have numerous heart surgeries in order to keep him alive. According to medical professions, his future is uncertain, but Bright and Shivon continue to put their trust in God for their son's survival. Their journey as a married couple has not been easy, but with the support that they have received from family and friends and their faith in God, they have been able to draw closer to each other.

    How To Balance Marriage, Children And Work (Part 1)

    Do you find balancing marriage, children and work a challenge? Well you are not alone. Joining me on this episode is our first couple Bright and Shivon Kwateng. They share what they have learnt within this past five years of being married. Balancing marriage, children and personal career endeavours has not been easy for them both. Shivon who is a song writer, has had to put this on hold in order to focus on their children and her counselling degree. Whilst Bright, a motivational speaker, reinforces the importance of finding and walking in your purpose which is your God-given identity. It is important in marriage to release our spouse to pursue their own God-given calling. Marriage is hard work and without having a solid foundation to lean on when things gets hard it may not last. Having faith as the bedrock of this foundation will enable you to keep serving and loving each other. You can connect with them both on Instagram @bok.motivates
