You cannot just wing parenting. And, yes, toxic parenting is a thing and a major problem in our country. When it comes to parenting, not many acknowledge the importance of prior learning. Often, you hear statements like, “don’t worry your instincts will tell you what to do” “you’ll be a great father or mother.” But, in doing so they fail to recognize that parenting requires a high level of knowledge and emotional intelligence. The major societal problems we face today are largely a result of toxic parenting, the mindset that parents don’t require any form of orientation in a society…
Lucia O’Sullivan, University of New Brunswick Monogamy is difficult to maintain. Sure, it’s easy enough at times when your life is devoid of temptation. But unless you and your partner live in isolation in a cottage in the woods, there are no guarantees that an attractive “other” will not emerge — to lure you away and challenge the sanctity of your relationship. “Oh no,” you think. “Not me. I adore my partner. Things are still so fresh. And I have so much to lose if I were to stray.” Yes, of course. But research makes it clear that our best…

My Dear Daughter, As we stay connected to what everyone is doing via social media, television and conversation, it is very easy to feel inadequate. And, it may seem that everyone except you is living a fantastic life and fulfilling their purpose. But, think about it, my dear; don’t you think they are showing you a version of a surreal perfection? Unfortunately, we tend to take what we see at face value and this always leads us to have a feeling of inadequacy which emotionally drains us. My dear, it beats me why a good number of people are…
“I have a dream!” These were the magic words that secured a prestigious place in the annals of history for Dr Martin Luther King Jr. The importance of dreams is best emphasized by the words of Pastor Taiwo Odukoya who remarked that dreams are so powerful that a leader is defined and known by his dream. Dreams are indeed the seeds of a leader’s legacy such that they drive his achievements. A classical manifestation of the conceptualization of dreams can be gleaned from the dream of lies and deceit bequeathed to Nigerians by the present Federal Government, the returns of…
Dear Dorothy, I’m a 53-year-old woman who has been married for nearly 23 years and my husband and I have 3 children. The marriage has been quite turbulent because my husband is a serial cheater. I’ve had to put up with his betrayals over the years because of our children, but now, the children are grown and only one left in the university, the other two are graduates. I am thinking of finally ending my endless heartaches in this marriage. I discovered his cheating ways after ten years of marriage and since then it has been 13 years of mental…

It turned out that Gillete changed its slogan from ‘the best a man can get’ to something more controversial territory ‘The best men can be’. By default, in the world of advertising, the buzz and the loud talks about a campaign is a good thing. Well, it is good until your customers start revolting and cursing your brand for stepping its bound. For those who have not…
