First thing First. Every Child Must Learn to prioritize his/her life.*

Without discipline and focus every natural endowments (beauty, football skills, handsomeness etc) can be a distraction.

Just as you can see in the story of Femi as narrated below.

Femi loved to play football. It was his passion and dream to represent Nigeria at the highest stage. He was blessed with the skills to become the best. Everyone knew this; even his parents and teachers knew he was born to be great.
Like most kids his age, he let the euphoria get to his head. His attention switched completely from his academics to football. From getting top grades in class, he dropped to average grades and then to bottom of the class. When his parents found out about this, they were furious. He was banned from playing football until he got his priorities straight. This hurt him terribly as he felt he had failed on two fronts.
Down and dejected, he sought counsel from his uncle who encouraged him to be excellent at both his academics and football. “George Weah won the award for best footballer in the world back in the day. Today he is the president of Liberia. He could only be President if he had something upstairs and the necessary certification. Academics is important, my boy”

This changed Femi’s orientation completely. He focused on his academics the next term and came 4th position in his class. This transformation impressed his parents who told him to keep it up. They didn’t just encourage him with words, they bought him a new football, jersey and boots.
Femi was proud of himself for he had regained his academic excellence and gotten his football career back on track.
There are so many kids just like Femi who let distractions take them away from their primary focus on life. Some haven't been unlucky and not been able to find their way back.

The switch programme has 'helping students make up their minds to do the right thing at the right time' as one of its major targets. We encourage kids to build on their passions and at the same time focus on academic excellence so they can get the best of both worlds.

We can help Parents come into an understanding with their children regarding supports for their passions while they excel in their academic work.

It proper challenge and inspiration your child it will surprise how multitasking and how good can be.

Now that they are entry into secondary School or tertiary institution is the best time to come into this kind understanding.

We can set your child up for Greatness and responsible living.

Call or Whatsapp me on 08065522404 to set meeting with your child for their better living and outcome.

Happy weekend to our Dear Parents.

By divine inspiration I have set up this two projects in my home and consult for several other families in doing same. Testimonies, feedbacks and reports I am getting are great!

*Re: Family Common Ground Rules**

Family sometimes finds it self caught up in the web of different view points.

Questions like which school should our kids attend, which part of the town should we live, matter related to children discipline, how to handle in-laws, etc, can bring serious stress on a family’s’ positive emotional cloud if not properly handled.

In time past, I have tried several ways of handling such cases in my home without the level of success I would have loved.
I tried the ' maniplative' method, 'forceful- macho' method and 'avoidance'- let peace reign method. But they didn't produce the win- win 'God- win' dimension that I really want in my home.

Until I discovered what I called our ' family common ground'. As a Christian I discovered that my home belongs to God and he has our best interest at heart.

Overtime, when there is conflicting interest in our family we bring it to the test of common ground, the word of God and that becomes the final verdict.

I have seen myself and my wife literally reporting some contending issue to God and before long, God in his divine way, ministers to the other parties and that ends the argument.

This common ground principle has made our intimacy with God better. Our children now know that they have to talk with God first before requesting any thing from Dad and Mom. Same goes for me and my wife. We seek God's face first before discussing our view points.

We are now a communicating family. No more personal victory. God wins.

Common Ground principle is working in my family. It can work in yours too.
Find your family common ground and work it out.


*Re: Positive Emotions Project**

I want to share with you the idea of a positive emotions project that my family undertook. It has tremendous effects in our home.

We created a positive emotions corner in our home.

This spot is decorated with memorable pictures like when I was dating my wife, our wedding pictures, the pictures of the naming ceremony of our first daughter, Reign and other sweet memories and dreams that band us together as a family.
In several occasions, I have drawn strength from this positive emotions corner during the down time. Same with my dear wife.

It is our favorite spot for settling our differences.

Recently my wife advise that we should make the spot our family prayer place, it is awesome.

The cloud of positive emotions around my home since we started this project in our home is on the increase.

You can take a clue from me. Create a positive emotions corner in your home.
It is a worthy thing to do. Just ensure to carry every member of your family along in the project.

Get rid of anything that brings negative memories into your home. Let God in and your home will be a heaven on Earth.

**Note- These two family projects are not religion based. It is working in Christian as well as Muslim homes.

ENJOY YOUR SECONDARY SCHOOL!
The above statement is a mere wish without preparing the youngsters for what they will be facing in the next phase of life, called secondary school. In retrospect it will be right for me to say honestly that transition from primary to secondary school is quite a big deal. Secondary education is such a critical point in the life of every child, not only are they starting a new phase of education, they are also commencing the start of puberty.

To be a graduating pupil means you have done well. You came, you saw and you conquered. Maybe you are even the best in your class; you likely have many friends to play with, you are very use to your school environment. Everything is about to change now! You are starting a new phase of your life now!

What will become of me in secondary school is likely to be the thought in your mind?

Yes after you step into your new school, ‘secondary’ and you will sudden find out that you are a junior student, maybe alone or with few of the pupils from your old school, most likely in a totally new environment!

Don’t be afraid, I was once in the same condition at a certain stage in my life. I will share with you my experience and experiences of others with you for free. This means you will not need to make and learn from your mistakes because others will lend you their shoulders for you to stand on and see all the opportunities and pitfalls that comes with secondary school

Honestly, in secondary school there are so many things that will be happening all at once if care is not taken you may lost your way.

Listen to the words of wisdom in these six (6) very important nuggets (points) from those that had got ahead of you.

Nugget One: Secondary School is a bigger environment:
I got into secondary school at the age of 11. It was so new to me. Bigger classrooms, more classmates, different subjects with their respective teachers, new places of learning such as science labs and art theaters. I met a lot of new people from different backgrounds. It was exciting and scary. This wasn’t my good old primary school where I used to sing and play with my buddies during break-time without a care in the world. Secondary school is more demanding!

Academically there is more to do. You may be the most brilliant in your old school, but I bet you will meet kids from other schools that are smarter than you. Friend it took me a long time to come to term with this. You can overcome this challenge of bigger and new environment if you listen to the voice of wisdom.
Don’t cast away yourself confident.
Be ready to study more, be ready for a challenge.
Be respectful: understand school hierarchy and be obedient.
Be a learner: there are things to learn from everybody.

Nugget two: Don’t wait to be told before you do what’s right:

You may be privilege to have a family that has almost every amenity needed. Your parents may have helps who cook, clean and do most house hold chores. When you get into secondary school things will likely change (especially if you are in boarding school). You will not have your house helps to wash your clothes, utensils and arrange your stuff; you have to do it yourself. If you are not used to it, it will be strange and very difficult. You have to learn personal management skills now that you are still at home, before you enter into secondary school.

Grow ups do right things at the right time without being told. You must learn to distinguish between work, reading and play time.


Nugget Three (3): Know what true maturity is and what it is not:

There is this popular saying that “age is not maturity”. It is a call to be focused and responsible. As you enter into secondary school you will not only be experiencing academic pressure, but also emotional pressure. This is because of physical growth that comes with puberty.

The probability of you being attractive to opposite gender is high and this can be dangerous if you don’t know what true maturity is.
Maturity does not mean you must be the ‘coolest’ boy or the miss ‘slay’ of your school. True maturity is the development of your voice to say No to anything that will obstruct your future.

99% of kids transitioning face this problem. Some even get it far worse. Cases of teenage pregnancy, sexual exploitation, rape, contracting of STIs all because of an early sexual debut. At this stage of a kid’s life, the mind is naive. Ensure that you know what’s coming so you do not fall victim. Focus on what’s important, your academics. Make good and decent friends. Don’t be lured by the urges and temptations that come with puberty. You’re not ready for them at this stage.

Nugget Four (4): Do the right things at the right time, the right way and the right purpose: your education should come first. Everything including your natural hobby should be secondary at this stage of your life.
Your aspiration may be to become the world footballer of your generation, or the best actress or model that the world had never seen before, let your focus be school. There are many years ahead of you.

Nugget five (5) Choose your friends wisely:

It’s very important we choose new friends when we get to Secondary school. Being alone isn’t healthy. You need companionship. No man is an Island. However, when doing this, ensure you pick Friends that’ll better your life and academics and not the opposite.

Make friends with only those that believe, talk and take actions towards better tomorrow. Be ready to quit a friendship that is not serving your objective of a better future and don’t be afraid of making new healthy friends.

Nugget six (6): Remember whose child you are:

“Remember whose child you are”. I’ve heard that line so many times from my parents and guardians at various stages in my development. It was a call to always remember who you are and your upbringing and never allow yourself to be influenced negatively by the world around me.

Secondary school is abuzz with young adults from different Family backgrounds; some good and some bad. It’s very easy to be influenced when you try to become someone you’re not by others. You can easily pick up bad habits and mentalities and before long you’ll forget who you are. There are always consequences when this happens. Ensure you carry the name of your family in the right light. You’re their ambassador in your school. Whatever you do reflects on them.

This is an abstract of my book, “Enjoy your secondary school!” it is a must read for every pupils. It is a collection of stories and lessons from those that had gone ahead. Grab a copy!!!
You can also enroll your child into our online, “Enjoy your Secondary School” orientation seminar.

Wanity:
So? Good advise but also remember that all finger's are not equal, you think you're perfect abi.

Oga marriage is a plane with two pilot. No is more important than the other.

I completely disagree with your point of view. According to the manufacturer of marriage it is not so. God made the man the head. This is not for position seek. But a call to a realm of total responsibility and dependency on God to direction and grace for leadership.

* Family Common Ground Rules*

Growing up from infancy to youth and then to adulthood in the 21st century has become arguably more complex and demanding than it’s ever been. There are a lot of factors involved now in the mental, emotional and physical growth of a child.
As a 6-7 year old in primary school, I was the top of my class. Life was carefree and innocent. I was oblivious to the challenges ahead; not only in terms of academics but physically. I had not come to terms with the silent but inevitable change that occurs in every growing child, puberty.

I got into secondary school at the age of 11. It was so new to me. Bigger classrooms, more classmates, different subjects with their respective teachers, new places of learning such as science labs and art theaters. I met a lot of new people from different backgrounds. It was exciting and scary. This wasn’t my good old primary school where I used to sing and play with sand during break-time without a care in the world. It was more demanding.

Academically, I found it difficult to adapt initially even while being one of the most brilliant pupils from my primary school. I met other kids who were smarter than me. It was strange. My Confidence was draining. I soon realized it affected my self esteem. Something in which took me a long time before I could overcome.

Socially, I realized there was a hierarchy not just in the school administration but among the students. Senior students ruled and junior students obeyed. It was the norm.
In my class, I realized there were other agents I’d never known existed before; bullying, intimidation, bodyshaming, peer pressure, misplacement of priorities and of course; a strange attraction to some of the opposite sex. I couldn’t explain it. I was so distracted and lost. My first term result was below average. I hated secondary school. “No one told me it would be like this” I cried.

A lot of children have been through what I went through and came out a lot worst. They can easily pick up dangerous habits while in secondary school as a result of ignorance of what’s to come. That’s where this transition course comes in. It’s purpose is to enlighten these kids and show them a first hand experience of what it’s like in secondary school so they know what to expect and how to handle it. Some of the negative agents children encounter and sometimes learn in secondary school are ironed out to the kids so they can avoid them.

It’s very important especially for new Boarding secondary school students to take this course. They are more exposed to these agents and without monitoring and personal conviction, they may lose their way very early in life.

Wise parents have been enrolling their Ward's into our weekend online Switch programme. We have design this programme to prepare them for life in secondary school.

Adequate Freedom Management is the bedrock of Meaningful living!

Now that our youngsters are ready to soar into larger society like tertiary institutions, which is most likely outside our immediate reach; What are our plans as parents, ex-teachers and concerned adults?

Research has shown that positive influence is a major need of every child at least the first year after graduation from secondary school.

At this stage of their lives, parental instructions doesn't carry much weight. After all, our kids of yesteryear are now 'big boys and girls'.

This sensitive stage of our children's lives calls for mentoring outside those of daddy and mommy . People with an innate understanding of teenage psychology and wisdom to communicate the concerns of parents and most importantly godly values to these new graduates as they begin to explore this world of limitless opportunities and immense dangers.

By the Grace of God, Mindscope Consultancy has a proven to be helpful assisting these youngsters so they can have a smooth sailing through their first year in tertiary institutions.
