LABARINA - TRAIN UP A CHILD

"When parents are overly critical of others who correct their child, especially teachers, they may inadvertently take on the sole responsibility of their child's upbringing. This approach neglects the African proverb, 'It takes a village to raise a child,' which emphasizes the importance of collective involvement in a child's development. The community, teachers, neighbors, and the church amongst others all play a vital role in shaping a child's values and behavior.

By being overly defensive and dismissive of others' corrections, parents risk shouldering the entire burden of their child's upbringing alone. This is an unrealistic expectation, as parents cannot be omnipresent. Embracing a collaborative approach to child-rearing, where constructive feedback is valued and respected, is essential for a child's holistic development.

When systems and support networks are in place, children benefit from diverse perspectives and guidance. Conversely, when these systems fail, a child's upbringing may suffer. By being open to others' input and corrections, parents can ensure their child receives comprehensive support and guidance, ultimately leading to better outcomes."
