Ignoring Early Childhood Development, the hidden cost.
It's the 21st century, a refining century; where better stands or it doesn't last. And what better way to tone with the status quo than raising and mentoring BETTER! After all, the future depends on Gen Next. While as adults we may have and are still throwing our share into the bargain; to live by the "game", it's daunting if not worrying that -the line on what is proper seems to keep moving. Yes, it's not about to stop! The only unchanging thing is change!
While we may not stand long enough to tell VERY LAST CHANGE, the next better society, it can be reassuring to know that our children may; with inclination to the fact that children are the future! And if this is anything to go by; then if our children are not properly raised, protected, if their minds and bodies are not efficiently unsettled to inflame their intellects and talents, if we do not shield them from the manifold of despicable behaviors prevalent today, then it leaves us with a bleak future, to say the least. Indeed, to many parents, their true love is their cherished little ones who are flawless Princes and Princesses, deserving of only the very best, with every need catered to effortlessly. Countless moms and dads are dedicated to raising their adored children in a bubble of love and indulgence, often with little focus on discipline.
Ignoring early childhood development would place both the child and society in peril. The consequences may be too many and harrowing to imagine.

The qualities and character the adult embodies are laid down on infancy.
The welfare, safety proper development of a child, for that matter - is everyone's responsibility. Henceforth, we at Lumar Learning are aspiring to play a pivotal role in effecting this!
We have learnt that there's a thin line between proper parenting and decadence/immorality because, as caregivers, we are over-stretched by the myriad of "duty calls". The pangs of survival have put us behind on proper parenting, the toughest task of all, but also the noblest of all that we indulge every day we see. Maybe it's time we fell back into the young and their little world; guide them, love them, fight for their powerless selves, prepare children with the skills and values needed to thrive and build a better future: a poverty free economy, a corruption free society, a crime free society, a society with children's rights free from abuse, a morally pleasing society, to say the least.
Reposing on the words of a great artiste -TUPAC SHAKUR (1971-1996) "I'm not saying I'm gonna change the world, but I guarantee that I'll spark the brain that will". At Lumar Learning, we greatly believe that mind is a very young mind -a child, so to say.
F. Dougals too has already put it: "It's easier to build strong children than repair broken adults".
We better prioritize early childhood development before the chickens come home to roost. Shall we?
