I think there should be a mandatory child psychology course for every parent. If we are unable to drive a car without a license or be a medical professional without a practicing licence. I dont think its appropriate to raise a child without adequate training in child psychology.
I still can't fathom how we, children of African parents (at home or abroad) could be so different, but still manage to have these ridiculously similar experiences! Sometimes, having this sort of conversations could feel like speaking with long lost siblings.
2024 here ! We miss you phrankleen!!!!!!!
My Dad said Anxiety doesn't exist, its a white man thing.
Thank u very much for this topic
Imagine our African parents in psychotherapy .. you will be shocked the things that will come out.
This video is Big Facts! An issue that needs to be challenged more
we need more videos like this man……many of our households are so dysfunctional and when our folks are presented with rational facts as to how their behaviors are literally having a detrimental negative effect on our psyches and self-esteem….and they still give us that whole, I'm the parent and you're the child, and it's like mom and dad, yo this isn't africa anymore. but alas, they refuse to understand until it's too late, often times.
Home truth🙌🙌🙌🙌
Can you imagine as a mother your teenage boys saying I wish I had an American Dad? Because of emotional disconnect. How does a mom get an African dad to change?
I have heard African parents calling their children stupid. I was shocked to tears. In America, many of these teachers are already calling your child stupid as well as showing them and when they get home they hear it from you. Then as the parent, you scream God forbid, enemy of progress and so on but you started it.
African parents think to know it all but they knows almost nothing when it comes to parenting.
Spot on
This was a much needed talk. sadly some parents are jealous of the options available to their children and purposefully work to make them miserable. This is the real reason for the disconnect as many of us become adults we see that now as thinking adults there really was no reason for the mindgames and disregard. I think as part of the prenatal classes mothers and fathers should have therapy to smooth out their subconscious issues that inevitably end up forced upon the innocent children. And that is every time they're expecting not just the first time.
Amazing channel
I enjoy every bit of my time on your channel bro
My children are young adults and I still hug and kiss them and tell them constantly that I love them. They also reciprocate to me. I really don't care what my family thinks about how I am with my children. They think I shouldn't be so loving towards my children.
My fiancé and I work so hard to break the cycle. We hug, kiss and love on our kids. I love that I’ve got an African man who doesn’t think he needs iron face to be a father
Yewadedewale hey mr. Franklin she's beautiful oOH" she represent!
Yewande is hitting the nail on the head especially about breaking cycles. I happen to know a couple who are raising their children mindfully. It shows in the kids' confidence.
PS
I'm not too fussed about I love you. My parents didn't say it routinely but they showed it in many ways.
Once you become an adult and paying your own bills, you have control. Its up to you to set boundaries and make determinations based on whats best for you, and for your family if you are married.
If you grew up in a dysfunctional home, you can do something about stopping that cycle or else it goes to the next generation.
If you are not able to do it on your own and need help, For those of us in the diaspora, there are therapists, psychologists etc. Make use of them as needed. You are already paying for that benefit through your health insurance premiums. Its up to you to put a halt to that dydfunction rather than worry about hurting someone's feelings.
So so nice hearing this from their own perspective! Thanks so much for this topic, I've been thinking of talking about it, but this is so good. I may also think of this method over here in Ireland, I think it will make the reality of the present situation to sink in. It is really worrying. Thanks for this 👍🏼
Our rigidity to change is evident in the stagnation of our society to progress.
Yo! Phrank this is a dope topic you’re discussing! You’re having conversations that need to be had. I can sooo relate to this! I am 38 years old sooo I sometimes just ignore the bad parenting and make fun of it . But there are some real issues that I definitely can relate to!
I’ve said it before! Bro you’re a different Naija man.. you’re critical in you’re thinking, you’re not hyper religious which can blur critical thinking. You’re even handed and striving to self develop and do things better. The revolution is coming to Africa!
I grow up not being in mix of others, that is why I don't go out to see friends,i prefer being alone with the kids, is what am used to.
I grow up that way, my kids away huge most of the time and say I love you mom, i will reply to them i love you too, but inside me feel some how. Because i have never heard my both parent say that to me. Am learning from my kids. My 9years old son told me that, they copy what ever i do. I am trying so hard not to used the mentality my parents used on me on my kids.
