Boys have emotions, let's show give them support. Plus show them, love, kindness and appreciation.

Remember these same boys are the future husbands to our daughters.

This sad story(East London) takes me back to 2014 where 4 kids batshayiswa yi-taxi and died endleleni be-jaiva(izkhothana). Some of their community parents didn't even know ukuba abantwana babo abekho endlini.

This is part of the reasons that led me to visiting schools. To engage with the youth khendive lento yabo yeziz-khothana, ngoba it didn't make sense to me. I then came to a solution ethi, sikhulisa abantwana who are clueless of who they are. Kids who don't know the contribution they need to play emakhayeni abo and in the society. In most cases xa bengazazi benza njeee, bade bangayazi nokba bazonwase njani.

Mzali, engage nomntana wakho. Zifumane pha kuye i-clues zokumkhulisa according to i-charactor yakhe. Ukhe umnike nethuba akucebise, ngemeko ojongene nayo. Umbuze " ngok bbesinga bonisani kakuhle no A or B wena ububona njani or usiva njani." Khumbula bona bafunda ngobona in most cases. Abantwana are deeper than we think. Masizameni kusuka Koo" ahaa bend'theni kuwe tshotsho" to the " yhoo ngoku wena ucinga uthini kengoku?" And "how about?" Nento yokuhla to their level ngokubona izinto kuya nceda kakhulu. Umntana makangoyiki wena mzali up to a level yokba angakwazi nokubakisela ngosuku lwakhe ukba belunjani. More especially xa ebuya eskolweni( kulapho ii-challenges zabo kakhulu zibakhona). Menze abenomdla walapho ayakhona ebomini. Showing them support and that you trust them ngee-decisions abazenzayo. Nangona deep down uyazi ukuba uzakuba nomthandazo wakho ucele uThixo akhokele ebomini babo. Maybe asking relevant question about their decision might assist.

Owam usemncinci umntana ndiyayazi lonto, please ningandi jaji. Kodwa ndinabo endingabazelanga ngokwam abantwana baninzi kakhulu. For the past 7yrs ndisebenzile ngoo 13-23 yr old, lonto indeza ndibenalo ufifi lokuba qonda ngabo.

Molweni, I have been reminded about this article, it is from two years ago. Intliziyo yam ikutshintsho kulutsha lwase Mzantsi.

Bazali ndithi mandicacise, lomsebenzi wokunceda abantwana kuba susa kwizidakamiswa ndiwenza ngentlizito yam ekhululekileyo futhi ndiyawuthanda.

Ewe ndise ngumfundi kwizifundo ze BTh(Bachelor degree in Theology majoring in Counseling) kwisikolo esiyi SATs( South African Theological Seminary). Lomsebenzi ndiwenza "Privately". X**a ucela ndingenelele, ndiye ndithande ukuhlangana ne-family yonke umntana ahlala nayo kuqala. Lonto ithi x**a ndisiza kuwe kuzakudingeka imali ye-petrol ngoba ndihamba ngemoto.

I don't charge a fee for the meeting but unfortunately imoto ihamba nge-petrol bazali.

Kwi-camps and leadership programs, I do charge bethuna. Ibaninzi into ekufuneka ibhatelwe: venue, sound, catering etc. As ba besendicacisile ukuba I do this Privately 🙏.

Usually, before umntwana aye ecampini ndiye ndithande ukuqala ndenze i-one on one session kunye naye, but it has to be after ndihlangene nosapho lwakowabo. Isizathu sesokuba umntana kufuneka aye ecampini eqhutywa yintliziyo yakhe.

Option yesibini ngeye group counseling(program), this usually happens x**a abantwana behlala out of town. Or bebaninzini kuledolophu endikuyo(Gqeberha), ndiye ndithande ukubahoya ngexesha elinye to save myself time. Then, after the program or one on one session ibeyi Camp. After Camp, sibene Drugs and alcohol support group. Then, I get to visit their schools to meet up with their teachers regarding their academic progress.

Ndiyathemba ndivakele bazali🙏.

Hello friends.

Ndimthulela umnqwazi uDabawo nefamily yomntana kunye nomama wakhe. UDabawo wabona i-discription ye-page and decided to follow up, sent me a message and the rest is history. This is our very first case apha kuAdasa by AM. Last time I worked nge-case ze-substance abuse was at Walmer High School around March 2020. The support, uthando endibona umntwana elufumana lindivisa kamnandi kakhulu.

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
1 Peter 4:8 NIV

Yes, we are still busy yi-admin yolungoselela umntwana. And he is willing to change his life for the better. Isende indlela kodwa ke sizakubekezela kude kulunge🙏.

The session have been postponed until further notice.

1 Peter 4:8 - Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

Masiwulungiseni lomba bazali, ulutsha oluninzi luphazamiseke ngenxa yezigqibo ezisimo sinje. It is never too late kodwa. Khanizame ukuba sondeza abantwana bazali🙏. Umve omnye xa uthetha naye esithi " andizazi why nditshaya", ajike xa kukho ii-sessions ze-support group umbone umntana echiphiza iinyembezi xabesenza ii-presentations.

Makulungisweeee!!!

Some of the things leading our children to drugs.

-Lack of security, trust and warmth in Parent Child Relationship.
-Lack of structure in family life.
-Inappropriate discipline practices can render children at great risk of problem behaviours and subsequent substance and mental health disorders.

It's never too late to start.
