Becoming a parent of a child or some children adds more responsibility to the parents.
These responsibilities are fundamentals to instilling discipline and healthy living in the children under their care.
These days, more and more of our children are being neglected either intentionally or otherwise.
This may be due to many factors. However, those who are in custody of children must ensure that supervision and continuous guidance is provided to them.
A lot is being said on the NCDs issues and how to control this.
There are suggestions of depriving our children the sugary items that we as children enjoyed.
Very few (if any) are promoting through their suggestions that our children should be involved in regular physical activities, both at school and at home on a daily basis.
This is not a matter for others to decide what our children eat.
It is us parents who should instil healthy eating habits together with healthy lifestyle where all work to sweat and burn the calories added throughout the day.
If only all parents and guardians really involve themselves in rearing their child, our community will definitely become a heavenly place with good families.
