OUR PRIMARY DUTIES

It is our primary responsibility as women, and our irreplaceable values as mothers to our immediate society and community to perform our deluged responsibilities at every stage of transition from the stage of being a girl child to that of motherhood. Moreso, as it concerns our families, homes, environments and our societies at large. Women should understand that these responsibilities are unchanging in spite of the circumstances. We have to fulfill our obligation with love and satisfaction.

It is expedient for every girl child to be groomed and by growth process grow into  the full knowledge of her role as a female and should at all times be ready to deploy her responsibilities as transition takes place from her childhood through her adulthood. It shouldn’t just be a phenotypic transformation but in her knowledge of God’s word for spiritual growth, in the knowledge of her purpose in life, her health as she also guides others through transition. When a female is well educated morally, socially, vocationally and physically, she has a better chance to maximize every opportunity to be a better parent, worker and citizen. 

She should grow with the consciousness of her character to handle several issues maturely and responsibly. Most of all she should grow in love as it is her primary obligation to love unconditionally. She should understand, by practicing how to not only get things done, but to imbibe love in every single thing she sets out to do.

We should talk about how much love we should exhibit in trying to fulfill our deluge responsibilities as a girl child, lady or as a mother. 

Love as a responsibility to a girl child

It is believed that at an early age of two, particularly the girl child is already smart enough to either run domestic errands for the mum or is able to scribble on paper or answer appropriately to questions and much more. She is definitely still growing and emulates very quickly. It is not out of place to instill in her the values of love, respect and contentment. It is no soon a time to cultivate in her a value that would be useful for her and the entire society in future.

She should be cautioned to know that being polite is also an attribute of love. It is very common for many parents to overlook their kids’ behaviours as it is excusable for their age. Yes! But the implication is that kids’ grow and what they absorb really does count as they go through transition of the mind, character, quality and anything that is responsible for the growth of a child. Parents should be observant as to train their children just the way they would want to be revered with regards to the child’s behavior and strong positive character build overtime. As they grow in mass and height, their knowledge should be broadened as well. Studies show that girls do best when they receive early childhood care, which enhances their self-esteem and prepares them in life.

Her impact in her society

Every female child should have a role to perform in the society just as every society should have a part to play by raising them as they go into institutions of different levels. Parents should also be able to direct their dreams and visions aright by; observing their performances in schools, their hobbies, church activities and much more indications. That way they grow just in the right path to inspire them, discover them, and develop them to fit-in society models and deploy them as leaders to aid growth and development of various sectors of economy and life. The Girl child may be vulnerable to environmental decadence and this could in turn have a dent on the society she finds herself if she is denied the positive impact by either the family or the society. Hence they should be well encouraged in all areas of life.

She belongs to all

Oftentimes, people don’t deem it their obligation to correct other peoples’ children specifically the female as it is opposed by most cultures. Well, it is expedient to make all and sundry know that “they belong to all”. You should conceit to doing what is morally justifiable. It should be a duty to do unto others what you expect them to do to you in love. For example; as role models, parents or patriotic citizens, it is our collective responsibilities to draw a child away from the road to avoid being hit by a vehicle. And when necessary, scold a child in love if she’s going astray in words or deeds. Furthermore it behooves on us to encourage the girl child to emulate good examples, follow the right paths so as to make better mothers, and citizens in the society. It is the duty of everyone to treat them right, as they indeed belong to all.

Love as a responsibility to an adult

Most times we find ourselves as sisters, mothers, and wives go solitary in taking crucial decisions concerning families, environments, and societies at large. Sometimes you get on a journey of some sort, very expectant and your expectations unfortunately gets truncated which has the tendency to affect your mood, attitude and your emotions. It is important to let you know that, you are not alone in our challenges, if you let people come in love to share in your happiness and sadness. Love should be expressed from within until it radiates your entire life. 

Growing the Girl child advances in three stages; discovery stage which unveils her innate abilities, developing the girl child with the virtues and ingredients of love, humility and in the Fear of God, Lastly, a guide to aid her in deploying her responsibilities beginning from home, church, immediate environment and the society at large.

 

Discovering the girl child

In the course of discovering herself, she should be able to realize how expedient it is a requirement to love God, her Creator, love herself and love others. She should be able to realize what potentials she’s got, with the help of families and friends. The girl child should be able to tell what she is fond of without considering food, or any form of distraction. It also requires her identifying herself with a Christian family (Church) to aid her fellowship with God and also grow her morals. Every child needs direction from older ones in order to effectively achieve these processes.

In God, we have our purpose, origin, importance, significance and our identities as women. Yes! it is expected we grow our girls in the knowledge of God at every stage of growth process. Once we have God navigate our steps, only then can we proceed to other stages of life with great joy and fulfillment. 

Developing the girl child

In achieving this, she must engage the following processes to build herself; first spiritually, intellectually, morally and physically. With the consciousness that all stages mentioned are important as listed. Every girl child growing-in to fit womanhood is already equipped from creation, yet efficiency is expedient in developing her in love and humility. In developing the girl child, we need to be patient in acquiring experiences and also carry others along. People tend to get better learning effect when they have a miniature audience to practice their abilities. Irrespective of the skill or developed potentials, practicing aids others to leverage on our success just like we did.

In the course of the journey of self-discovery, to attain success, it is no doubt that ladies run into more challenges that either encourage them or discourage them as the case may be. Our reminder to always get it right despite the hurdle should be the look of how far we’ve gone either the physical transition from childhood to womanhood, or dreams and visions should spur you not to give up. Let us not be selfish to think that growing into womanhood is all about us and our selfish desires. We shold hold ourselves in high esteem, but we should be considerate in our decisions and its aftermath to our environment. Throwing tantrums in words, attitudes and character is unladylike and shouldn’t be a character to be exhibited in the course of actualizing our purpose as women. People around us should be able to learn from us as we go through these stages.

Deploying our responsibilities

This is the final stage to give all back in love to our society for its growth and development. Also to empower as much people, within our reach to embark on same processes until we have more women who realize their roles, significance, values and importance in this global world.
