The Proverb says: " A child that asks questions isn't stupid."
The ancient Ewe proverb reminds us of a valuable truth - that we should never underestimate the power of asking questions.
Asking questions is a sign of intelligence and curiosity, not ignorance. We can foster an innovative mindset in our children by welcoming even the most foolish-sounding questions with open arms.

Let us create a culture where it is safe to question, explore and discover!

#DailyAfricanProverbs takes us to #Mauratinia
The Proverb says: "Too large a morsel chokes the child."
This simple yet powerful saying speaks to the notion that it is best to take things in smaller, more manageable doses.
When taken too far and too quickly, you risk overcommitting yourself or consuming too much at once, leading to your own undoing.
Not only does this advice apply to physical limitations, but it also serves as an important reminder for all of us when it comes to better managing our emotions, ambitions, and dreams.
Take on challenges one step at a time and look for ways to break down big goals into achievable parts.
You can make progress toward your larger aspirations without running yourself into the ground in the process.
