Let Kids Be Kids: Don’t Make Them Take Sides – Sights/Sounds of My Kids Goofing Around While With Me
This video I’ve added my podcast to, was recorded using my phone, on Sunday 30th May 2021 (from 5.16p.m) by my children – mainly the 12 year old girl, along with her 8 year old brother.
They were spending the day with me, at the family house, so I could help their 15 year old sister with a Wooden Kite building Maths project she had to do for school.
In my commentary, I note that this is how they are (i.e. free/uninhibited) when they’re ALONE with me, and how they act VERY different with me, once their mother (now my ex-partner) is around.
Towards the end, I explain – using several true stories to illustrate – why making kids take sides with either parent, when there is conflict between parents CAN BE VERY HARMFUL to their normal development, and should therefore be avoided.

This video trailer features:
1. Highlight photos and a video clip from the 1st practice session done – on Tuesday 27th April 2021 – by the girls with their Mentor, the CEO of ADA UNIQUE SALOON located at No. 5 Akinriade Street, Anifowoshe, Ikeja, Lagos.
2. Subtitled playback of a recorded phone Conversation, 2 days later, on 29th April – when Ada spoke with Temi after seeing photos of the 2nd practice session done by the girls at home.
Temiloluwa (15) and Oluomachukwu (12) started learning hairstyling with doll heads in 2018 as apprentices, then moved on to styling one another’s hair, and today are able to style client’s hair to get paid.
It’s not been easy to get them this far. We have had to deal with various challenges – some from the most unexpected quarters, but the girls’ love and undying passion for hairstyling has really helped to keep them on track.
After yet another challenge had kept them from hairstyling practice, from mid-2020 right into April 2021, I finally settled on an Action Plan to implement my idea of getting them invited to host a coaching clinic.
When Samuel, the CEO of SACAJ COMPANY NIGERIA LIMITED (where I do my magazine printing) learned I was looking for a saloon to partner with to host the girls’ maiden coaching clinic, he immediately recommended Ada Unique Saloon – noting that he was personally aware of at least ten kids she’d trained in the past.
By the time I met and spoke with the CEO of the saloon (i.e Ada), sharing the vision I had for my girls, and explaining the unique challenges they’ve faced since they began learning from back in 2018, I could see her passion driven interest was triggered.
Not surprisingly, when she met the girls on Tuesday (27th April 2021) for the first time she did not hold back. In less than an hour, she’d taken them through the steps required to create amazingly beautiful, yet low cost hairstyles using simple, commonly available tools.
My girls went home excited, and two days later produced photos (and videos – which will be posted later) showing they really grabbed it!
Ada was very impressed – and as you will hear in the second half of this video, commended them during the phone conversation she had with ‘Temi.
Tomorrow (i.e. Saturday 1st May 2021) is the Big Day for their first ever mobile “FREE BASIC HAIRSTYLING CLINIC FOR KIDS” (8 TO 15 YEARS).
They will be demonstrating to attendees who have already pre-registered (ages from 6 to 16) using the techniques they were coached on by Ada, in conjunction with braiding skills they already have from years of practice.
We are ALL excited & looking forward to a great outing.
Full videos and photos from start to finish will be uploaded to their own YouTube channel, which I will setup after the training.
The videos and photos will also be posted in a blog on http://www.temiandoluoma.com [Sisters With Skills]

Making Custom Ankara Footwear by Restoring Old, Discarded Ones
In this post we share photos of our first attempts at making various kinds of simple custom footwear. Today, Temi and Oluoma’s older brother, Emeka whose natural talent for making handicrafts was discovered early, is apprenticing in a custom shoe making outfit, and is already able to make simple footwear (which will be showcased soon on his website that’s currently under construction).
