Dear African/Asian parents…
Dear African/Asian parents, Let your kids be kids! Stop over-cautioning your kids in public! Stop expecting them to behave like adults by sitting still in church. They can’t! They just can’t! because they’re kids, and kids have a higher level of adrenaline and a high level of energy! This is what you call “restlessness”, and it is normal! Unlike adults, kids live in the moment! Instead of sitting in one place, they’ll like to jump around, they’ll like to touch things and explore, they’ll come asking you so many questions, etc, stop cautioning them when they behave this way! Answer the questions you can, and let them know you’ll get back to them with the other answers if you don’t know what it is! Make them feel loved and understood, instead of shouting at them for behaving like kids! š¤·š¾♀️ Cuddle them, run your hands through their hair, and leave them with kisses! it is not “over-pampering” as you’d call it, but rather, I’d like to call it “tolerance in parenting!” Physiologic
