Parents need to talk to their children

I'm not yet a parent so perhaps I don't know all there is to know about being a parent just yet. However, I have been a child for 23 years and I have observed parents and children over these years. When a child gets up and does something wrong the first person who is blamed is the parent. This is because a parent is deemed responsible for his or her child's actions. This conclusion does has its flaws as a parent can teach their child the right way to do things but the child decides to disobey anyways. On the other hand however, a parent can be very much held responsible for putting their child on the wrong path which results in the child choosing to do wrongs in society.

In life we apfind ourselves so busy from time to time. Trying to make a better life for ourselves and our families. This drive to succeed is indeed a good path to go on and a good model for child. However, with this dedication to ones work comes the consequences of neglecting the needs of your child. There are many parents who have left all the needs of their child in the hands of a teacher of one parents has to juggle all the emotional needs themselves. Say for instance a child wants to talk to their parent about sex but the parent is too busy to entertain such a conversation so instead they send them away. The child then goes and gets guidance elsewhere, often times not the best guidance is given. Then you have those overly religious parents who will respond by saying no sex before marriage end of discussion. What if the child has already engaged in sexual intercourse what is the child suppose to do with that advice? I say to you as parents today always try and make time for your child. There are many parents who only turn up for their child when the child is in trouble but are never there when the child needs someone to talk to. Instead of saying that the child asks too many questions or is simply an announce to you, try and make sometime to give them some guidance before you realize you can't offer guidance anymore.

Reimagining the Big Screen: How Palace Amusement Can Level Up the Jamaican Movie Experience

As a Digital Marketer in Jamaica, how would I revamp Palace Amusement? Here are some of my ideas: 1. The History of Palace Amusement - Create a campaign highlighting where the company is coming from, where it is now, and where it will be. Speak to grandparents who visited at the start, and have each group share their experience. Tie these experiences in with a film of the time. 2. The Love of Palace – Many couples have had their first dates at the movies, sparking relationships that blossomed into marriages and lifelong love stories. This campaign will highlight some of these real-life romances using a black-and-white aesthetic to evoke nostalgia and emotional connection in a visually captivating TV commercial, which will also be promoted across digital platforms. The campaign will culminate in an in-person event where couples with similar love stories will be invited to a special screening of the romance movie currently showing. Brands will be invited to partner in creati...

The Young are being murdered

The death of the young By:©Saccheen Laing I put on my uniform Armed with books I set out in search of a good education. Streets lined with the blood stains of those who fell on the way I'm determined to live to see another day But I have no control over those who believe they can have their own way. Armed with guns and knives They attack me, They assault me, They abuse me , Because they believe they have control over me Because of guns and knives in hand. In my hands I write my plans A singer, an actor, a doctor, a fashion designer or a police man I clench my fist as my blood runs to join those who fell before My plans remain in my hands Never to be realized I am young but that means nothing on this land. The blood of the young will replace the ocean that surrounds and beautifies the land How many more shall die before you answer when I ask why? My mother shall cry and bury her son before he becomes a man My brot...

New Look, Same Tastee: Creative Digital Rebrand Ideas to Revive the Brand Online

My first patty love was Tastee Patties, and to be honest, it is truly disappointing to see that they have failed to capitalize on and take the brand to new levels. In this blog post, I will break down some of the ideas that I would implement to revive the brand in the digital space to surpass what competing brands are currently doing. The First Bite In primary school, Tastee Patties felt like a reward; our end-of-week treasure after saving a few dollars from lunch money each day. That first bite was more than food; it was joy, friendship, excitement, and pure Jamaican childhood wrapped in a flaky crust. The First Bite Campaign will tap into that shared memory, reconnecting generations to the Tastee moment they’ll never forget, while also introducing younger Jamaicans to the brand in a way that feels timeless, cultural, and deeply personal. Tastee Canteen Makeover Challenge Tastee Patties has been a staple of school lunches across Jamaica for decades, sponsoring canteen areas and m...
