Secure your home. Personally I went all out with CCTV camera which allows me to watch my home through my phone from any part of the world. Be vigilant. Check why your kids are in love with an adult and check why some adults repel and scare them.
Don’t be caught up in this wayward society, Pay extra attention to your kids this holiday. The church isn’t a safe place. Watch your kids everywhere. Don’t feel too comfort in a religious gathering, Remember The devil loves Good places too.
Holidaymakers, Don’t send your kids off to your grannies without trusted helps around. Grannies are weak, vulnerable and not so disciplined anymore. Don’t burden them with children stress. Don’t accommodate other kids you cant care for in the name of holiday.
Watch your teenagers. Get closer to your children and Nannies/wards this holiday. Keep close, embrace your children, pray and play together.
They can watch television but be mindful what goes into their mind. Most of the time, a lot of accidents could have been avoided. Take them to visit orphanages so they appreciate life more. What more can I say.”
