Parents Understand Your Child Shola Alabi

As parents, we have the most influence over our children. Their work habits and attitudes about learning as well as any expectations of success they have, is usually down to us the parent. Therefore, it is important for us as parents/ guardians to get to know our children's unique traits and help nurture, walk and steer them in the right direction as they journey through life. This book has been written to help parents understand that every child is different and that they have been created with a unique personality, different abilities, skills and talents. This book will encourage every parent to spend quality time with their children: to get to know and understand them and by so doing, help support them in reaching their full potential by putting the right strategies in place. It is not the author's intention to criticise or judge parents and anyone's parental style. This book is not written to dictate to parents how to raise their child. Rather, it has been written out of the author's experience of working with children in her capacity as a teacher and also as a mother. This book will highlight the importance of getting to know your child as an individual and the relevance of this concept.
