· Emotions: Expressing and having strong feelings. Many
children there days are destroyed because they can’t get hold of
their emotions, little things are broken down and depression set in as
a result of the taught of suicide. More especially when it comes to
the opposite sex (Songs of Solomon 8:4; Ecclesiastes 3:1) ''Young
women of Jerusalem, I charge you, do not stir up or awaken love
until the appropriate time (CSBV). This has killed so many
dreams, potential/ talent distracted, some lost focus of their goals in
life, while some kill and commit suicide because of what they
assume to be love and mostly in women. How can a girl- child be
following/waiting for a man who is living his life in fullness,
fornicating around and making babies in the name of baby mama's
and whiling away your time not that he is married to you, He doesn't
even consider your feeling, your health etc. and what becomes of
your future?. Help build your children's emotional intelligence.
This is the ability to understand, use, and manage your own
emotions in positive ways to relieve stress or tension. It is very
necessary because it affects every aspect of your child's life e.g.
during exams some will start having exam fever etc. It helps to build
self-confidence and self-acceptance, the ability to let go of
mistakes, the ability to accept and embrace change, show sensitivity
to the feelings of other people and the ability to manage emotions in
difficult situations. Maturity in life helps to handle some issues in
life not really age but knowledge and experiences that make one
mature. Another thing is the Spirit of God (Job 32: 6 – 9) '' I am
young in years and you are old; that is why I was fearful, not
daring to tell you what I know. I taught,' Age should speak;
advanced years should teach wisdom. ‘But it is the Spirit in a
person, the breath of the Almighty that gives them understanding.
It is not only the old who are wise, not only the aged who
understand what is right.
