it depends on parental up bringing and how we see things of this life.
my late father do apologies but my mother never did.
come down to me,i apologies to my children ,my wife does same.
so its not about Africa ,i feel its more about personality and individual differences .

However,i feel we should not take things too serious,whether the offender apologies or not,
just feel free and move on with your life.

It's an African thing. Just like expecting your parents to tell you "please".

Most Africans don't have manners. The only form of respect we believe in is greeting.

"African time" is a testament to that

African parents are part of the reasons africa is backward. The abused children even when older cannot speak up against it because of respect

Follar:
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

Apology kee them dịa

GoodFaith:


i LIKE YOU MANNERS OF NO MANNER "Most Africans don't have manners."
GO GET COMMON SENSE

gurunlocker:
New generation parents are doing so...

successfulhadi22:
lolz my mum can never say d word sorry to me,she wil just cook ur favourite food that day that's how she says her sorry

okeniti:
Are we talking about Africa or Nigeria? I assume you're talking about Nigeria so i'm gonna say not really, for the most part. For the most part, African (Nigerian) parenting is really just instilling fear instead of raising a child to become a productive adult but that's just my perspective.

GoodFaith:


NO COMMON SENSE FOR YOUR PARENTS TO APOLOGIZE
SOMEBODY NEED TO TAKE THE MF DEVICE FROM YOUR DUMB ASS
DISRESPECTFUL KIDS
