Here are some simple tips to remember before correcting a child:

1. Calm yourself first
Don’t correct a child when you are angry.

Take a moment to calm down so you don’t react harshly.

2.Understand why the child behaved that way;

Ask yourself: Is the child tired, hungry, confused, or seeking attention? Understanding the reason helps you respond better.

3. Correct with love, not shame;
The goal is to teach the child, not to embarrass or humiliate them.

4. Explain the right behaviour;
Don’t just say “Don’t do that.” Tell them what they should do instead.

5.Use a calm and clear voice;
Children listen better when correction is firm but gentle.

6.Be consistent:
If a rule exists today, it should still exist tomorrow. Consistency helps children learn.

7.Focus on the behaviour, not the child:

Instead of saying “You are bad,” say “That behaviour is not good.”

8.Encourage when they do the right thing:
Praise good behaviour. It helps children repeat it.

Why Some Children Are Not Learning Even When They Seem To Be Listening..

Sometimes a child may sit quietly, look at you, and even nod their head.
But at the end, they still did not learn what you taught.
Why does this happen?

Have you ever felt like strangling a child before?

Calm down 😁, I don’t mean strangling as in actually strangling.

I mean those moments when you walk in and see your child playing with your expensive lotion… or you carefully kept a cooler of freshly cooked soup and kpaaaa the soup is now all over the floor.

Yes, it has happened severally to me.
My twins were playing with the hair cream I had just bought. Everything was wasted. When I walked in and saw the scene, I didn’t even know what to do. I held both of their hands and paused for about three minutes. They were staring at me with cream all over their faces.

In those few minutes, I reminded myself of something.

If I beat them, they might not even understand why I am beating them.
If I shout, they may only feel like “Aha… Imma doesn’t like us.”

Immediately, I Heard myself saying,

“God please help me. Where should I start from? Should I clean this one or this one first? Should I clean the floor first? The cream might enter their eyes if I don’t wash it off because it is chemical.”

In that moment, I realized something important about parenting.
Sometimes the first thing we need is not anger, but a pause.
Children will make messes. They will waste things. They will do things that can push a parent to the edge. But many times, they are not being wicked,they are simply curious, playful, and still learning.

That day reminded me that parenting is not just about reacting.
It is about pausing, thinking, and responding with wisdom.
Sometimes the best thing a parent can do in a chaotic moment is simply to pause… and ask God for help.

We are fun of talking about God's love but what about our love for God..

The truth is that we often talk about how much God loves us. We preach about it, we sing about it, and we celebrate it. And truly, God's love is real and undeniable. The Bible tells us in Romans 5:8 that “God demonstrates His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

God has shown us His love in many ways.

But the question today is not about God's love for us.
The question is about our love for God.

He said how can you love me who you have never seen
The Bible says in 1 John 4:20, “Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.”

This scripture challenges us deeply. It makes us examine our hearts and our actions.
But today we always say we love God but do we really mean it..

Many of us say, “I love God.”
We write it in our posts.
We sing it in worship.
But love is not just something we say.

The Bible tells us in John 14:15, “If you love me, keep my commandments.”
In other words, love for God is proven by obedience. loving God is not just emotional words,it is a lIFESTYLE.

How do we know we love God?
To know we love God, let's answer this question.

How many times do we spend with him?
Because love creates relationships.
When you love someone, you want to spend time with them.
You want to talk to them.
You want to listen to them.
In the same way, if we truly love God, we will desire to spend time with Him.

Through prayer.
Through reading His word.
Through fellowship with Him.
The Bible says in James 4:8, “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.”
And in Psalm 63:1, David said, “O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You.”
So today, let us reflect on our hearts.
We say we love God, but do our lives show it?
Do we spend time with Him?
Do we obey His word?
Do we desire His presence?

Mothers are fun of comparing their children to their friends children..

like I don't understand please mommy Leave baby Cassy to learn at her own pace.

Not because your best friend’s daughter can read numbers from one to two millions means Cassy must do the same.

Every child has a unique learning ability and pace.
Comparison only creates pressure, not progress.

Let children be. Observe them. Discover what works best for your child.

Some learn faster with songs, some with games, some through stories, and some by watching and repeating.

Parenting is not a competition.

It’s a JOURNEY of understanding, patience, and love.

You must have a cane… or must you?

When the Bible says “spare the rod and spoil the child,” many of us immediately think of a cane. We often interpret the rod as a tool for beating or punishment.

But let’s pause and ask an important question: Is the cane the only instruction or correction a child needs?

The rod in this context represents guidance, discipline, correction, and leadership.

It is not only about physical punishment. Children need direction, teaching, boundaries, and lOVING correction to grow well.

Yes, discipline is important in parenting, but discipline goes beyond the cane o.

Sometimes correction comes through these

• Teaching and explaining.Yes you don't just come and start beating the child without explaining things to him

• Setting clear boundaries

• Consistency in rules: this is very important, being consistent in correcting

• Modeling good behavior: This is where most parents fail,see any good behaviour you don't practice around the child don't expect magic to happen because you are their first model..

• Loving but firm guidance because love needs balance

Parenting is not just about controlling a child’s behavior; it is about shaping a child’s character.

So the question is not just, “Do you have a cane?”
The deeper question is, “Are you intentionally guiding your child in the right way?”

Because true parenting is not just punishment,it is instruction, nurture, and wisdom.

Have you ever corrected a child, and the child still repeated the same thing?

You explained it.
You warned them.
You even corrected them.
Yet, they still go back and do the same thing again.
At that moment, many parents feel frustrated and begin to wonder, “Is this child not hearing me?”

But the truth is, children are still learning. Learning takes time, repetition, patience, and guidance.

Correction is not always a one-time event,it is a PROCESS

Sometimes a child repeats a behavior because:

• They are still trying to understand the rule
• They are testing boundaries
• They need consistent guidance
• They learn better through repeated instruction

This is why parenting requires patience and intentionality.

Instead of only reacting in anger, we guide, teach, remind, and correct with love and consistency.

Over time, those lessons begin to shape the child’s character.

Parenting can be overwhelming, yes. But every correction, every teaching moment, and every patient instruction is part of raising a child the right way.

Dear parents and teachers, do not give up too quickly.

Children grow, learn, and become better when they are guided with wisdom, love, and consistency.

Parenting is not just a “parent thing”

It is a school on its own.

Yes, it can sometimes feel overwhelming. But trust me, when you begin to learn the right principles and add intentionality, patience, and God into the journey, you will be glad you did.

Parenting is a daily learning process—one that requires love, wisdom, and guidance. And with the right knowledge, it becomes a beautiful journey of raising and nurturing lives with purpose.

Yeah, Nurture with Imma
