@SolomonAbugah African parents never disappoint, different types and weird punishment everywhere. This is bad, sometimes you just need to talk to the kid but if it will straighten the child’s character why not
@_Filta_ Allow people train their kids how they want. You have no say in the kind of punishment someone gives the child. Social media age makes a lot of people want to have a say in people’s lives
@_JayBlue_ These girls will learn and never disrespect any older person any more. Learn to appreciate the African ways, why you have being a person came through some of these punishments
Watch Video,
