how to Raise A Child In The 21st century.

Being a parent in any era is tough enough, but being a parent in the 21st century is a whole new game.

From dealing with your kid’s addiction to social media to your own TikTok habit or even trying to adjust to adopting a new parenting style after your move to the UK or Canada, it can be overwhelming for any parent.

But fear not, because at Edukoya, we're here to help you navigate this new landscape (and we’ll be spilling a little tea along the way).

Spare the rod but not the side eye: While we can all agree that disciplining via spanking is very much out of favor today, but we are pleased that the Nigerian side eye is still very much in vogue. Remember the look your parents would give you that would stop you right in your tracks.

A good tip is to verbally communicate the importance of respecting authority and following rules to your kids, but also encourage them to express themselves in healthy ways. Make sure to reward them for good behavior while clearly stating the consequences for bad behavior and why.

Learning their A-Zs: We all know that you value education above everything else, but what do you do when your child is struggling with a subject or doesn't understand the curriculum?

The first thing is not to let them struggle on their own, and the second is to call in an expert!.

Edukoya's tutors are all experienced educators with a passion for helping individual students succeed. They'll work with your child one-on-one to identify problem areas and come up with a personalized plan for success.

Keeping up with culture:  Telling your kids about their heritage and culture can be an incredibly rewarding experience, but it can also be incredibly difficult. Even more difficult is trying to pass down your heritage to younger kids.

At Edukoya, we understand the importance of keeping our cultural roots alive, which is why we offer one-on-one language and cultural classes to help your kids stay connected to their Nigerian heritage.
