Founder of Pretty Valued Kids, Nigeria, Mrs. Chinenye Azubike-Onyegbu, popularly known as Nenye Azubike, has urged education stakeholders to instill positive values in children.
Azubike, while giving her remarks during the unveiling of value-adding products for children, said children should not be raised basically to achieve academic excellence.
Some of the products unveiled like mug, water bottle, shirts, had affirming words inscribed on them.
“Pretty Valued Kids, Nigeria, is an organisation whose major project is to teach, validate and help kids develop strong values through our range of character-building products that children use every day. Our model is to consistently help children build positive reinforcements.
“We hope to partner with parents who want to take the responsibility to do the ‘extra’ needed to raise children with positive values and strong character. Our range of products include t-shirts, shirts, throw pillows, hand sanitisers, water bottles, mugs, story books, journals, frames. Products like bags, towels, flashcards and even more will be introduced shortly,” she said.
She also encouraged parents to create more time for their children.
During a panel discussion at the unveiling, a personal development coach, Mrs Sabrina Ben-Salmi advised parents to understand the skills set of their children as this would help guide them on the right career path.
“Parents need to make it a habit to invite the children to have a say in the decisions regarding their future, this will help groom positive 21st century children.
Director of White Oak Schools, Lagos, Mrs Teresa Oniru said parents and teachers needed to come together in the grooming of children.
