Teaching children how to behave: 5 essential principles

Young children are naturally petulant, noisy, and self-centered. We’re all born with ourselves in the center of the universe, an impression reinforced by parents who must cater constantly to their young babies. But babies become toddlers, and toddlers become children. Sometime during this transition, parents have to teach their children that they are part of a family. For a family to function and thrive there must be rules and expectations for everyone to follow. There are no “magic solutions” to every behavior problem, and there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach.

National security

Solving Nigeria’s insecurity challenges with youth integration SECURITY is freedom from physical hurt, injury, human right abuse or other threats to what constitutes the core of individual security. My views differ sharply on how the communal concept of security as it concerns the youth should be expanded from this core.  For some, maladministration, youth marginalization , youth exploitation, inefficient security institutions, hunger, disease and environmental pollution represent grave security threats even worse than physical violence. Thus, conditions of abject poverty or powerlessness are viewed as not qualitatively different from susceptibility to physical violence during conflict.
