The last virtue to be considered this month is the virtue of simplicity. Many believe simplicity is a sign of weakness or synonymous to foolishness or stupidity but I put it to you today that simplicity is rather a virtue of strength. Vashti lacked this virtue and she lost her throne and the opportunity to birth and parent an heir to the throne. The virtue of simplicity will help you to protect your home as a parent because that is your throne, the moment you lost it, you lose the privilege to raise your heirs in comfort of the palace which would have in turn give them easy accessibility to their own throne in life.

In the vein, as a godly and intentional parent, you need to engage your children in age-appropriate sex education, drug use/ abuse, addiction and other forms of social vices around today, so that they will be socially stable and not easily fall prey of negative peer pressure.

One of the ways through which you can boost your children’s confidence, improve their social skill and self- esteem is be being an open father or mother in conversing with them. Be transparent in your dealings and give no room for secrecy in your parent-child relationship, the result can only scream: GREATNESS.

Where the virtue of openness is not passed to a child at home, it breeds social anxiety which strategically hinder children from such homes from being able to communicate outside their circle of influence thereby impairing their understanding of others which turn out to sabotage them of the privilege of emotional bonding even in marriage.

Hence, a parent is a patient, admirer, realistic, enduring and a nearest teacher, Are you one?
