A cleric, Pastor Stephen Ekundayo, has advised parents to give their children the necessary attention and inculcate in them moral and religious values particularly before they become adolescents
Ekundayo of Christ Word Church gave the advice in an interview in Ilorin on Friday.
"Teachers cannot replace parental bond. They can only try. Be very close to your children and listen to them.
"Parents must stop giving priority to their businesses and work more than their children. Your family should come first before any other thing.
"Listen to them, care for them and let them share their thoughts with you as parents," he said.
The cleric, who spoke against the backdrop of the Chrisland School saga, particularly appealed to parents to instill discipline in their children and as well teach them morals for a better future.
He warned parents not to hesitate to scold their children when they are rude or misbehave, but rather they should correct them in love.
"We should not hesitate to scold them when necessary; it is not for today, but their future,'' Ekundayo said.
