Let's Stir The Pot || Two Jamaicans Discuss Jamaican-Style Parenting

Parenting is challenging. We don't always get it right. But, if we pause long enough to evaluate ourselves, our beliefs, and our behaviors we can usually find areas that we can fix.
This episode is meant to shed light on some of those areas that can be a point of trouble or concern. Feel free to ask questions in the comments to keep the conversation going.
I am so grateful that I had this talk with Jae-J. She is a phenomenal Jamaican woman and every second with her taught me something valuable.
Come back for part #2

This was a discussion that sadly needed to be had. It’s crazy how normal we thought a lot of this was growing up in Jamaica especially when it comes to the punishment. I’m praying this generation makes a change!

Gosh, I hope so too mi sista❤

This is a very interesting yet intense discussion. As a Caribbean parent and educator there are things that l agree with but other things that need more indept decisions. Bring on part 2.

I agree! This is a highly multifaceted issue! There is so much more we could talk about. Stay tuned as we continue to have these conversations.

In the Caribbean what does it mean to allow children to be children? This hit deep and it's a conversation that's ppl need to talk about.When I look back I know that I wasn't allowed to be a child . That affected my adulthood.

- Teaching children to be responsible without overwhelming them with the responsibility of taking care of the family. - Allowing them to engage in age-appropriate play - Protecting their tender minds from an oversexualized world, so that they grow up with a healthy view of intimacy and sex - Not allowing children to participate in/overhear "adult" conversations ....and the list goes on. That topic deserves a video to itself!! You and I may need to sit down and do a video on this one😊
