Vegetables – Stir fry
One way to make children indulge in vegetables is by spicing them. Kids often refuse to eat vegetables due to poor presentation and lack of creativity. One has to be artistic to be able to lure kids into enjoying veggies. For instance, colour is very important to children; the brighter the vegetables, the better. Kids are…
Drowning Alert
While swimming at a club with my friends recently, they persuaded me to dive at the deep end of the pool. I flatly refused. This stirred a heated conversation that went beyond my fears to a discussion on drowning and other water accident ordeals. The stories were really sad. They brought back fresh memories of…
CONVULSIONS. A PARENT’S MOMENTS OF TERROR!
It is dreaded by most parents, but few understand why it happens and how to prevent it.

Bliss is time with the kids
Last weekend, I went home to receive a lovely surprise. My sister insisted that I should visit her and I did, not knowing why she was so excited.

Pneumonia – keeping it at bay
The cold season, which tends to bring its fair share of trouble, is here. This is when our immunity against the biting cold is truly tested. The chilly weather may bring your child a few shivers leading to sneezes then coughs. You may dismiss it as a common cold and give a little mild medication.…
Our First Scare
Baby Zuri is two days old. I have just woken up and decided to take a warm, relaxing shower so as to start my day well. I am still trying to figure out if it is the rain or early morning weather that is causing the cold outside. As I leave the bathroom, I meet…
Funny things kids say…37
Funny things parents say If you don’t finish your food Richard (neighbour’s younger kid) will grow taller than you. To a crying six-year-old boy. ‘A-a-ah! Stop that. Men don’t cry.’ I am going to the market, take of care my child. If I meet the child crying or if you make him fall, you will…
Molding his character-its never too early
‘Character is like smoke, it cannot be hidden’ Good character is treasured. And just like our parents strove to instill it in us, we want to pass it on to our children. It may not mean the same thing to everyone but there are distinctive qualities in character that we all appreciate. A courteous and…
