Why Do Many African Parents Struggle to Apologise to Their Teenagers?
Why do many African parents find it hard to say “sorry” to their teenage children? They often believe an apology will invite disrespect. Some offer indirect apologies but avoid being direct. In many Western families, parents freely admit mistakes and apologise. I think pride and ego play a big role in why we hesitate. This reluctance can create distance and misunderstandings with our kids. What’s your view? Have you ever apologised to your adolescent or teenage child when you realised you were wrong?
