Effective Family Management and Parenting

Families are important building blocks of societies where all - including leaders, managers, kings, queens, husbands, wives, fathers and mothers - were raised, yet societies are falling apart and hence failing to provide the necessary education, training and guidance to family members for the benefit of their societies. Most of the challenges pertaining to relationships, marriages, morality, beliefs, leadership and the like can be easily pointed back to families' foundational principles and culture. This book will answer questions about effective ways of nurturing children, and what training should be provided by parents and guardians to children or family members. This book will equip parents and guardians and also those intending to have families with effective ways of raising family members under appropriate Family Governance, Leadership and Management Systems. Hence, they will acquire knowledge about how to build strong, united and productive families that will have a positive impact on their societies for many decades to come. This book will equip parents and guardians to be able to: Raise responsible, reliable, kind and productive adults and citizens of their nations Develop good character, attitudes, mindset and beliefs (of) in their children Build strong, stable and safe families The upbringing and foundation of family members has an impact, influence and bearing on their adulthood in their communities, workplaces, places of business, interpersonal relations, relationships and marriages. The foundation of a child should be carefully, strategically and lovingly laid with all patience and perseverance. Most parents and guardians lack appropriate knowledge and skills for this important task. Many bear children without (this) adequate preparation and hence leave children to grow carelessly, lacking guidance, and without mentorship, coaching, appropriate training, and education. The upbringing and foundational life of a person is as important as (or even more important than) a foundation of a house. The Almighty has given parents and guardians the responsibility of raising children properly so that they may be good leaders, fathers, mothers, husbands, wives and service providers in their communities. Many parents and guardians are taking this mission lightly and are failing this serious and noble task. Hence, we have high moral degradation, high infant mortality rates, high criminal activities, high alcoholism and drug abuse/addiction, high incidences of violence, high rates of teenage pregnancies, and high incidences of mental illnesses.
