Can the kids keep quiet, let the parents talk.

I have told my son sorry on numerous occasions, because I want that to be part of him, I will also let him see sorry as a shameful thing, but a shameful thing which must be done, irrespective of who he is telling it to.


This is to condition his mind to avoid putting himself in a situation that will see

I really don't understand why it's a big deal for parents to say 'I am sorry' to their kids. These same parents will scold a child who refuses to say a continuous thank you for gift that isn't so helpful at the moment. All in the name of being parents, they feel that they are equal the moment you say you are sorry to a child.

Children are human too and they have rights. Parents who constantly would refuse to be sorry for a wrong has a chance of
Not having a good communication with the child
Loosing the child to sharks in the street
Loosing any form of connections
Child seeking any available means of getting out of the house
Getting advice from third parties
Confiding in other people

Children are meant to be our friends, buddies. When you Apologize to your child, train and even spank sometimes, children understand why you spanked them. Being a hard, tough, unyielding parents will only lead you to loosing them.

Be nice, playful, accommodating, apologize, train, communicate, spank and always put them before God.. Only that can you hope for a better future with your child

Look more like childish rant. But let me ask you, do you have kids? If you don't then close the thread.

Some. People have no problem doing something wrong because, they feel sorry will always bail them out, and yes sorry is actually a shameful thing, when it becomes a habit. If you had read my words well, you would have seen where I said it must be said if need be, but situations that put you in a position to say sorry should be avoided more.

COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU "situations that put you in a position to say sorry should be avoided more."

Re: Is There A Way To Make African Parents Apologize To Their Kids by Nobody: 6:07pm On Aug 12, 2019
What makes you think you deserve an apology? Are you matured enough to know rights from wrongs and objectively analyze a situation in which you felt badly treated? All my life, my mum actually dealt with me once. I later felt I deserved an apology 'cause she misunderstood me which resulted in her beating me, but in retrospection, she did what a caring mother would. You discipline your kids and don't apologize for doing so.

The family system has lost it 'cause parents are looking the other way. Trying to be friends with their kids when they should be mentors and role models.

The guy isn't childish rather he is stating the fact. A man killed his child mistakenly because he was quick to act without been logical. The child was at the point of death when he apologized for his actions however it was too late.

well, they wouldn't be African parents if they do that, would they?

Exactly... When I was younger it used to get to me... Now I don't care. I just give them a dish of my mind politely.. and I have forced my mum to start respecting boundaries. They are so nice to outsiders to mean to kids...

African parents and nigerian public hospital nurses are similargrin grin grin
