Do your kids speak their traditional language? Does it matter if they do? If both parents have different religious beliefs, which religion are the kids raised in?
It’s commonly said that today we live in a global village, as such, we are global citizens. But, what does that mean for us Africans, or Ugandans?
Ronnie, Abbey and Melanie discuss this and get into various aspects of how they are choosing to raise their children today. Are they teaching them their traditional languages or religions, how does that look when parents have divergent religious or tribal backgrounds? They discuss the challenges and triumphs with raising kids in Africa, while still aware of global cultures. They also explore attitudes from other African cultures and the role that pop culture phenomena like Tik Tok plays in how they raise their children.
