Everyone is building something, and I think it’s time I shared what I’m building too. I am building MOLVI, a children’s brand creating physical products for hands-on play and creativity, starting with craft kits. The story actually goes back to 2015, when I ran a blog sharing step-by-step tutorials on how to make beads. Those tutorials are still live today! You can find them here: beadglitz.blogspot.com/?m=1 Fast-forward to this year: I bought some craft materials for my children, but putting everything together was very complicated and cumbersome than I’d expected. That got me thinking: “I already know how to make these things and teach others. Why don’t I create a kit for children, with all the materials they need with simple, step-by-step picture instructions?” And that’s how Molvi was born. With my sister beside me as co-founder, and her encouragement helping turn this idea into something real, Our first products is now at the production stage! It feels special to see something I enjoyed doing years ago take on a new life through my motherhood experience. I can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on. I am opened to suggestions and ideas . Watch this space. Molvi is coming! Follow Molvi on instagram @molvihq instagram.com/molvihq?stkn=e…

Again, for the umpteenth time, gentle parenting does not equal NO parenting. In fact, “spare the rod and spoil the child” parenting can also be NO parenting. Spanking your children and being aggressive towards them is not an evidence that you’re actively parenting them.

God help us o These guys maybe laughing, but they are taking note May our story not end with “I’m sorry, there’s nothing we can do…you said it with your own mouth” 😩

My own hot take is that hitting children is lazy parenting. You don’t want to do the work required to regulate your own emotions, reason with them, and find alternatives for effective discipline. Carrying a cane to inflict pain because, “that would teach them to behave” just feels so much easier. And if you really took some time to introspect, you’d realize that’s what it is. Can children be overwhelming? Yes. Can parenting be frustrating? Yes! (I’ve worked with kids and helped raised kids within my community, it’s hard work! There’s no disputing that). But at the end of the day, they’re childreeennn! If at your big adult age, you still misbehave, struggle to get things right, make mistakes, get upset, throw tantrums, “snap” when you’re overwhelmed, how much more CHILDRENNNNN! The problem is we automatically view them as stubborn, as they know exactly what they’re doing but are being willfully errant. And maybe, sometimes, that’s the case. But you also have to consider that they’re over stimulated, they’re overwhelmed. They’re confused. They’re sad. Upset, temperamental, hurt, insecure, etc. And they don’t have effective tools yet for dealing with all of these emotions without acting out. Yes, kids need discipline, but your only or most common form of discipline cannot be beating. You shouldn’t even be hitting children at all. All the beating you received, what did it do but instil fear in you? Sometimes, hatred. Sometimes, a sense of worthlessness and brokenness. Sometimes, silence. Sometimes, a reinforcement of the very behaviour you were beaten for. Think back carefully to all the times you were beaten as a kid for a behaviour, was it the beating that made you change that behaviour (if you did), or was it fear and pain? Is that what you want to teach your kids? Especially if that behaviour can be corrected through other means of discipline that won’t leave them emotionally and physically scarred? Hian.

1st. Why is there no plan in place for you to travel with your partner abroad Or someone you call to partner And 2nd. why did that statement offend you if it truly came from your partner I don’t get it . Except like I said the circumstances around that period wasn’t defined as “love” We claim we love people but when abroad starts getting involved, you feel that’s always convenient to cut them off I don’t understand Except what you guys were claiming to do wasn’t love . That’s my opinion imo And it’s always one gender that’s at the crime of scene when things like this happen.

Sorry not reading all that When you are about to sponsor your 23 year old to go study abroad, allow someone plant a seed in her

Please it’s “BACKHANDED” and the comment did what it was supposed to do, trigger a certain part of twitter

You can be quietly getting dressed for an evening out, and your child will just sit there watching you intently. So you ask, “What?” And they said “Mum, why do you wear your nice dresses and do your hair for everywhere except my school?” 🙃🙃 Anyway, it’s parent–teacher evening today, and I’m now picking out a dress 🙃

I’m going to sell my Abuja and PH home, thank God I can decorate people’s home from anywhere now….I don’t even want to fly anywhere

The kind of moral lessons you people take from issues is nauseating

I just hope we can reflect on our actions as parents. I’ve been in Maraji’s position, and it’s not one of my proudest moments as a parent, I don’t want a medal for that….It doesn’t teach a child what we hope it will. What breaks my heart is when they come close afterwards, looking for reassurance, asking for a hug, wanting to know if they’re still loved. We teach them to use kind hands, then turn our own hands into something they fear. May God help us make better choices for our children.

Again! Listen to it! That one wanted me to get pregnant when I was applying for my masters that year. “Take my baby along with you”

Listen to it!

You’ve reposted this, driving more weirdos and inappropriate comments her way. She’s right.

To a polygamist, nothing is indispensable…not wives…not even their own children….they are selfish to the core
