Being Ready And Stable (BRAS): permission to go home for treatment. She was excited, not just because she needed rest, but because she finally had another opportunity to speak with her mother, hoping this time she would listen with understanding.

Emoji CSO: Communication is everything. When children feel safe to talk, they make better decisions. But when they are shut down, they may withdraw or seek answers elsewhere

CSO intl: Sometimes as parents, we think we are protecting our children, but in the process, we may unknowingly silence them. Naomi didn’t need judgment that day—she needed a listening ear and understanding.

Like minds🫂: If you don't pay attention to your daughter by making her your best friend so she confined in you she will turn to her friends for such attentions and guess what, they will mislead her.

Ink & Soul ✒️✨: Whilst we await the concluding part of the story, it is pertinent for parents to imbibe the ability to "listen" to their children and wards. No matter how stupid the conversation may be, hear them out. Never shut them up.

Rejoice Osunwoke: One cannot always tell what to get from the parents 😂😂

Cephason Skycruz Kings: A mother protecting her children from inconsistent people isn't about being bitter, it's about protecting their heart and that's the most important thing to her.

Reality Check ✅: Your children should be your best friend, gossip mate and everything, in that case they will be free to tell you anything no matter what

Africa Growth Hub (Official): Parents should try to be friends with their children, if there is a gap in communication a lot of things will go wrong.
