testimonialS
“In Guided Beginnings, Ajoke provides empowering and thought-provoking reflections on how to approach parenting with empathy, intention, and integrity. Non-Western perspectives on parenting are sorely underrepresented in the mainstream, making this book a timely contribution.”
Kairo Martens
Academic Advisor, MacEwan University (HBA)
“In a fine and lucid prose, Ajoke Owolabi’s Guided Beginnings engages some of the joys and complexities of parenting. As readers of the book will find out, parenting is that proverbial market that is not accessible through a strictly defined pathway; there are multiple entrances into it. The book’s takes on parenting are bold, inspiring, provisional, engaging, didactic, and challenging.”
Dr. Ademola Adesola

“Wow just wow! What a fantastic masterpiece and amazing read. Ajoke really poured out her heart on this one. This book is a must read for every parent or intending parent as it takes you back to the drawing board and encourages you to put things in place as you raise the next generation of world shifters. The biblical reference and reflective quotes stir up your thinking while propelling you to begin a revolution of change. I will read this book over and over at different stages of my parenting journey in the future.”

Excerpts from the book
“A parent’s untamed habits could easily become a child’s lifelong culture.”
“Without fresh insights and information to challenge and refine our beliefs, the world behind our eyes could easily blur the one before our eyes.”
“Healing is not achieved by avoiding triggers; it requires confronting our fears and adopting perspectives that enable us to overcome them.”
“We must be vulnerable enough to admit when we don’t know, curious enough to ask further questions, motivated enough to pursue our own healing, and intentional enough to seek knowledge or point our children to the right resources.”
“Without a clear and actionable vision to guide our daily actions, we will continually encounter the frustration of unfulfilled intentions.”
“Every parent must decide how they will show up on their child’s journey towards mastery.”
