HELPING A CHILD BREAK OUT FROM THE STING CALLED FEAR.

 Helping a child overcome fear or anxiety requires patience, understanding, and a supportive approach. Here are some steps you can take:


Listen and Validate: First and foremost, listen to your child's fears and concerns without judgment. Let them know that it's okay to feel scared or anxious and that their feelings are valid.

Provide Reassurance: Offer comfort and reassurance. Let your child know that you're there to protect and support them. 


Gradual Exposure: If the fear is related to a specific situation or object, consider gradual exposure. Start with small, manageable steps to help them become more comfortable with what they fear.


Teach Coping Strategies: Teach your child age-appropriate coping strategies. Breathing exercises, positive self-talk, and distraction techniques can be helpful.


Positive Role Modeling: Children often learn by observing their parents or caregivers. Be a positive role model by demonstrating how to manage fear or anxiety effectively.


Maintain Routine: Establishing a consistent routine can provide a sense of security and predictability, which can help reduce anxiety.


Encourage Expression: Encourage your child to express their feelings through art, writing, or conversation. This can help them process and release their anxiety.


 Avoid Pressure: Avoid pushing your child too hard to face their fears. Instead, provide gentle encouragement and support.


Share Who God is and how he can help them overcome their fear and allow them to affirm God's word concerning them!

What has changed is the vision: it’s now bigger. Today, I’m reopening this blog with a broader purpose. We’re still going to talk about growth but now we’re stretching it beyond the personal. We’re talking about how our personal development connects to economic empowerment, decent work, and building sustainable communities. We’re talking about SDG 8. If you’re not familiar, SDG 8 is one of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. It focuses on promoting sustained, inclusive economic growth, full and productive employment, and d...

Game-Changer for Small Businesses: How Nigeria’s New Tax Reform Could Spark Real Growth

 Nigeria has taken a bold step toward modernizing its economic framework with the signing of four significant tax reform bills by President Bola Tinubu. Beyond just fiscal restructuring, this move signals a renewed commitment to building a more inclusive and growth-oriented economy particularly for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), which remain the backbone of job creation in Nigeria. For too long, MSMEs have operated under the weight of multiple taxes, inconsistent levies, and burdensome regulatory processes that often discourage growth and formalization. With the new reforms—set to take effect from January 2026 the government is centralizing tax administration, simplifying the tax structure, and introducing clearer exemptions for small businesses. Companies earning ₦50 million or less annually are now exempt from several key taxes, while individuals earning below ₦800,000 monthly are also free from personal income tax obligations. This creates a friendlier operating e...
