 June 1st each year is celebrated as Global Day of Parents, a day designed to celebrate parenthood and the bond between parents and children around the world. A clinical psychologist, Dr. Ibi Kunle, Emotio Lua says parents and single parents should be appreciated and they should endeavor to inject lots of positivity in children because they are born on a clean slate. Plus TV Africa's correspondent, Destiny Momo, has more. Global Day of Parents provides an opportunity to appreciate all parents for their selfless commitments to children and their lifelong sacrifice towards nurturing the relationship and creating a family which is an atmosphere of happiness, love and understanding. The UN General Assembly created this event in 2012 in recognition of the essential role they play in raising children and the responsibility associated with nurturing children. A clinical psychologist highlights the importance of appreciating parents. Parents should be appreciated all the time first of all, we need to appreciate ourselves, we need to appreciate ourselves and our children need to appreciate us. The importance of parent-children relationship and the role fathers should also play in balancing parental care is emphasised by these parental experts. Then we have to have time for the children because many parents in that one in every chain won't be able to supply all the needs, that is all. So they don't care or it doesn't work that way, that's why what is happening in society today is happening because many parents are not here for the children, they only provide all the needs, create their school fees and all that. And we need to grow with our children so that we understand them because if we don't understand the child, there's no way we can train up that child. The advice I will give to such fathers is, such fathers is also, every father needs to realise the wanting, it's cultural somehow, it's very African for us to believe that caring of the children of the left to the right, but it is not true. Although school is where kids do their learning day to day, a child's first teachers are his parents. Experts say parents should inject positivity in children as they are born on a clean slate and share clues on bringing up millenial children. It is whatever society likes to say that determines the personality of that child. Nowadays our parents value integrity, honesty, mother and mother. Having biological children as man and wife, single parents, adopted children, surrogacy and being guardians of other people's children is all parenting. Social commentators say all should be appreciated on this global day of parents. Destiny Momo for Plus TV Africa.
