PARENT-CHILD RELATIONSHIP

PARENT-CHILD RELATIONSHIP

How would you feel if your father calls you on a valentine's day and says to you as a daughter 'Play safe today'? That was one of the shocking revelation at the gold in the slum meeting today as we had to look at family reconciliation.

the meeting moderated by Florence udu had UKC at his musical best again before NACA was brought in to set the house on fire.

Praise came up stage to ask if the young people in the house had issues they were currently contending with their parents?

A couple of the young people had issues ranging from inability of their parents to understand them to lack of love on the part of the fathers. As a matter of fact a young man stood up to say his father never cared about him while a young lady said her father would always abuse her each time she asks for N20 from him.

It was an open forum in which people who had gone through the experience were asked to assist the young people in resolving the issues.

Praise eventually had to talk about Parent-Child relationship as he emphasised the ned for the children to forgive their parents. Some of the negative vices we have had to go through are as a result of the absence of the fathers and he challenged the people to make up their minds to be better fathers.

It wasn't the intention of our fathers to treat us badly. The economy of some of them went bad and led to gross frustration while they tranfered the agression on the children.

In the midst of these even though the mothers got a pass mark Praise made the people realised that the greatest favor the fathers have done was facilitating our birth because if the man had changed his mind at the point of ejaculation there won't have been us and we have to remain grateful for that.

The forgiving heart he said is the heart that is willing to forgive before the offence is committed and we must forgive.

Love is all that matters and that love we must offer our fathers. It may not be easy but we must do it.

Of a particular interest was Destiny's case who got to the extent of fighting physically with his father because of his ill treatment and discovered that things stood still for him until he went back to apologize.

We still need the father's blessings and can always get it if we are willing to pay the prize of humility. Praise reminded the people that no matter how difficult a pareson is he must have a soft spot and anybody that is willing to pay the price will surely win his heart.

We can do it if we let go of our ego and win back our fathers again

Praise rounded up the meeting by exposing the fact that most of the greatest men in the world today had no fathers around them to call 'My Father' but succeeded at all cost and that is why we must succeed as well.

WE CAN! WE WILL! WE MUST
