As the world marks the World Sight Day<\/a> (WSD), the International Day of Awareness on eye health, a visually impaired writer and teacher, Samuel Obong<\/a>, author of a book on education and parenting will be celebrated on Sunday October 16, 2022 by the Centre for International Advanced and Professional Studies<\/a>, (CIAPS), in Ikeja, Lagos.<\/span><\/p>\n

A statement published on CIAPS<\/a> website and confirmed the Centre Director, Prof. Anthony Kila said that the October CIAPS Brunch themed “Getting the Best out of your Schools”, a Sunday afternoon Buffet filled with music, food and drinks aimed at parents and teachers will also\u00a0 <\/span>promote the doggedness of the 42-year old Psychology graduate who is also a CIAPS<\/a> Post graduate of educational studies will showcase his book titled \u201cWhy the Child will Fail.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Kila said the book focuses on the challenges parents and teachers face in training the child. \u201cIt focuses on both parenting and education, since every child has a core reserve of talent, parents and teachers can help the child to discover that core, and nurture the child in it to ensure they are not conflicted.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat is why you have a lot of adults today who failed to discover their path, because what they were nurtured into is not at the centre of what they are supposed to do. When a child follows his or her core, they will become excellent naturalists and can expand natural intelligence.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The event will start at 12noon and it will an afternoon of food, drinks and exchange of ideas between parents and teachers. <\/span><\/p>\n

The celebrated author, Samuel Obong, who did his postgraduate degree at CIAPS, has about 15 years teaching experience where he assists children in developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as opposed to merely memorizing to pass examinations.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Kila also used his message to appeal to well-meaning Nigerians to come out and support such a talent in any way they can. <\/span><\/p>\n

The event is open to all and more information for participation can be found at <\/span><\/p>\n
