First thing First. Every Child Must Learn to prioritize his/her life.*

Without discipline and focus every natural endowments (beauty, football skills, handsomeness etc) can be a distraction.

Just as you can see in the story of Femi as narrated below.

Femi loved to play football. It was his passion and dream to represent Nigeria at the highest stage. He was blessed with the skills to become the best. Everyone knew this; even his parents and teachers knew he was born to be great.
Like most kids his age, he let the euphoria get to his head. His attention switched completely from his academics to football. From getting top grades in class, he dropped to average grades and then to bottom of the class. When his parents found out about this, they were furious. He was banned from playing football until he got his priorities straight. This hurt him terribly as he felt he had failed on two fronts.
Down and dejected, he sought counsel from his uncle who encouraged him to be excellent at both his academics and football. “George Weah won the award for best footballer in the world back in the day. Today he is the president of Liberia. He could only be President if he had something upstairs and the necessary certification. Academics is important, my boy”

This changed Femi’s orientation completely. He focused on his academics the next term and came 4th position in his class. This transformation impressed his parents who told him to keep it up. They didn’t just encourage him with words, they bought him a new football, jersey and boots.
Femi was proud of himself for he had regained his academic excellence and gotten his football career back on track.
There are so many kids just like Femi who let distractions take them away from their primary focus on life. Some haven't been unlucky and not been able to find their way back.

The switch programme has 'helping students make up their minds to do the right thing at the right time' as one of its major targets. We encourage kids to build on their passions and at the same time focus on academic excellence so they can get the best of both worlds.

We can help Parents come into an understanding with their children regarding supports for their passions while they excel in their academic work.

It proper challenge and inspiration your child it will surprise how multitasking and how good can be.

Now that they are entry into secondary School or tertiary institution is the best time to come into this kind understanding.

We can set your child up for Greatness and responsible living.
