My name is Temitope Mandy-Okonofua. I am a wife, a mother, and the founder of Families Today. Families Today is an organisation I started out of my passion for loving families and happy homes where children can thrive and grow in a safe environment with parents who have been equipped with the right tools and knowledge to parent them.

I have always been very interested in family dynamics and how they impact children, especially in our country, Nigeria, where I felt that parents were doing the best they could for their children and would be in a better position to do more if armed with the right parental information.

Although I started Families Today and produce parenting content, I cannot claim to know everything there is to know. The truth is that there is no perfect parent in the world. However, I am driven by one thing, and that is to ensure that children are happy, nurtured, and thrive. This one desire propels me to learn, research, and discover. Every day, my heart is filled with this desire.

I hold a Master's degree in Family and Child Psychology from the University of Chester, UK, and work in children's social care for the Local Authority. I also have 6 years of professional experience working with families both in Nigeria and in the UK (since 2017), and over 10 years of both professional and charity experience working with children and young people.

I love what I do, and I am constantly looking for collaborators. My email is [email protected].

Many thanks!
