Reforming Traditional African Parenting
Before the penetration of Western cultures into the African fold, Africans did alright in their own right. They nurture kids the way they deemed fit and many offspring of theirs turned out okay. The patterns were simple, the man provides and the woman nurtures the home… setting up a gender role chart. Some activities or chores are seen as masculine while some others are termed feminine. The male child is taught the ways of the African man while the mother imprints her long-standing values on the daughters. The demarcation was of high reverence in the traditional African community.
