Reflecting on Fatherhood, Peace and My Children’s Naming Ceremonies

1 / 5

I recently celebrated the naming ceremony of my first child, Baby Light, with gratitude to God for the gift of life. As a father, I believe intentional parenting can help create peace, understanding and unity among children. I also believe that many wider conflicts begin with unresolved pain and poor family relationships. I encourage everyone to reflect on how we can support peace and prosperity in our homes and neighbourhoods. I am also building a digital and offline way to document and celebrate the naming ceremonies of my children, including Baby Sound-Breeze, whom I call the Prince of Utopia.

Congratulations on Baby Light. What intentional parenting habits do you think make the biggest difference in building understanding between children?

I agree. Consistent listening, calm correction, and making time for each child can build stronger trust at home.

The link between peaceful homes and a more united society is worth reflecting on. Naming ceremonies can be meaningful reminders of family responsibility.

True, but unity needs more than family ceremonies; everyday kindness and responsibility do plenty of the heavy lifting too.

Intentional parenting matters, but wider conflicts may also have causes beyond family upbringing. Peace needs support from homes and communities alike.

Parents can start small: model respectful disagreement, listen fairly to each child, and create regular moments for siblings to talk things through.
