Apologize and Let the Pride Slide

By Splendor Eloke Young

As parents or guardians, we must work within the consciousness that children also have the tendency to get hurt by our actions or inactions. The fear of losing authority and respect has made most parents abandon the phrase “I am sorry” when relating with their children. Learning to say “I am sorry” to your child when you know you have made a mistake, will go a long way in building and maintaining a great parental relationship between you and the child, as well as showing mutual respect which we all should strive to teach and imbibe.

She Is Already Intimate With Him – What Should I Do?

Physical intimacy remains a tricky issue to discuss when you have a teenage daughter. Most times, parents and guardians wait until something prompts them to discuss intimacy. This should not be the case, we often wonder, what is the appropriate age to start discussing this topic with our daughter? Specialists say it is never too early to start the discussion, I say do not wait until it is too late. While doing my daily rounds, I came across this question on Troubleshooter, an advice column that appears in the Japan News, and I felt it would be right to share this with parents, who may have been in this situation or find themselves edging towards the same. The question reads: ‘I saw my teenage daughter in bed with her boyfriend, what should I do?’ I’m a company employee in my 40s with a daughter who’s a first-year student at a…

The Importance of Fertilizer to the Woman in Agribusiness

I was speaking to a friend of mine whose mother is a farmer, and as one discussion led to another we found ourselves talking about how a bag of fertilizer mean so much to her mother than a piece of brand new wrapper. I was stunned because I used to know that women in the villages cherished their traditional attires more than many other things you could mention, so when did that change? Then it was clear, it changed when a bag of fertilizer became more expensive than five pieces of native wrapper put together. This is outrageous seeing that about 75 percent of the world’s low-income earners reside in the rural areas, and a large number of them are dependent on agriculture as means of livelihood, so the question goes; how do they survive since one bag of fertilizer is about $30? Fertilizer is a synthetic or natural supplement…
