Nollywood actress, Foluke Daramola-Salako, has revealed how she disciplines her children.
In
a recent interview, she disclosed that she stopped spanking her
children when she discovered that such method of discipline does not
guarantee that such child will stop misbehaving.
Daramola-Salako
while speaking with Sunday Scoop, stated that she discovered that using
cane on children does not ensure that they would be well behaved.
“I
have learnt that you don’t need to shout at your children for them to
be better. As a parent, you have to understand the weaknesses and
strengths of your children. If you need to apologise to your children,
please do.
With that, you will not push them outside and
they will remain your friends. In the past, I used to beat my children
but I don’t do that again because it doesn’t solve anything. Whenever I
talk to my daughter, she stays calm. But those times I used to whip her,
I realised that she became tougher. I felt that she could stop telling
me things about her and I didn’t want that for myself.”
Describing motherhood as fun and challenging at the same time, Foluke said,
they become teenagers, you have to take your time to understand them.
If care is not taken, they can grow away from you and you will not know
them anymore. Also, I don’t want to do anything that will make my
children have inferiority complex.”
