Hive Naija Weekly Prompt | Edition 43

Greetings!

As a community, we have come a long way together over the years, and more exponentially since The Big Move. What we want for ourselves is to have a space where countrymen have a home to share the Nigerian experience and connect with one another. Together, we'll have a blast of a year.

Welcome to a new edition of the Hive Naija Weekly Prompts. This initiative is one of our activities to explore our creativity and foster connections amongst ourselves. Whether you're a seasoned creator or just discovering the joy of expressing your thoughts, these prompts are crafted to inspire and ignite your creativity, as well as interact with the creativity of others in the community.

Navigating parenthood: nurturing bonds, embracing individuality
by @menace123

When it comes to my parents, I can say they did their best in training my siblings and me. Although there are some things that they did their best in but still we the children were just too stubborn to emulate, for example, my mom tried her best to train us not to fight among each other, but still, we were like cats and dogs staying in one house.

Nurturing discipline and resilience upbringing
by @rosebaby

As you all know Nigerian parents have this special way of bringing children up to the extent that the child will never go in the wrong direction and that is what I love about my upbringing. Every child has their way of growing up and that is why parents should never relent in taking note of their child's steps.
