WISHING YOU A HAPPY 2026

30/12/2025

In the next few weeks i will be sharing a part of myself with you all.

My journey, my dreams and aspirations.

To kick 2026 off, i think we should start with my favourite songs...

Let’s start with this one... Mandisi Dyatyis-NguMama

https://youtu.be/eVEBpM0SRsI?si=jKSAuPE6fzy-IN3j

In this song, he appreciates his mother’s love and sacrifices. And says if it wasn’t for his mum he wouldn’t be the type of person he is.

Mandisi is not just a talented musician, he is educated and spiritual. He has a master’s degree in Music(cum laude), from UCT and very successful. Yet very respectful and humble
I admire him greatly as a person and individual, the values that carries him.
I feel exactly as he feels about his mother. Because without my mother’s love and sacrifice, i would not be the person i am today.
I am, because she is.❤️

Thank you for the ❤️

There are four main parenting styles: ⬇️
authoritarian, authoritative, permissive and neglectful.

You don’t have to commit to one style.❤️

● It’s natural to use different styles in different situations.

When safety is at stake, a parent might use a firm authoritarian style that leaves no room for negotiation.

But a parent might put consequences on hold and lean into a permissive approach to encourage a teenager to call for help if they put themselves in a dangerous situation.

Here we are going to look at each of the four styles.in the following weeks ❤️

04/12/2025

💥Neglectful parenting involves meeting basic needs but lacking attention and nurturing.

Parents may face challenges like work demands or mental health issues.

As a result, children often become resilient and self-sufficient but may struggle with emotional control, coping strategies, social relationships, and self-esteem, leading them to seek inappropriate role models.

04/12/2025

📚Authoritarian parenting enforces strict rules and high expectations with little flexibility, often punishing children without prior warning.

While children from authoritarian households may follow instructions well, they may develop a fear of punishment, struggle with decision-making, and potentially become rebellious or socially challenged.

04/12/2025

Permissive parenting involves being nurturing and communicative while having low expectations and minimal discipline.

😎Parents act as friends, allowing children to make decisions about eating, bedtime, and homework.
While children often develop good self-esteem and social skills, they may also become impulsive and lack self-regulation.

This parenting style can prevent children from experiencing rejection or failure, potentially leaving them unprepared for adulthood.

02/12/2025

Authoritative parenting is viewed as ideal due to its blend of warmth and firmness.

● Parents communicate expectations and explain rules, while remaining the decision-makers.

This style fosters close relationships, resulting in children who are confident, responsible, emotionally stable, friendly, curious, and achievement-oriented.❤️
