'It will be disastrous to raise our kids the way our parents raised us' - Real Warri Pikin

Popular Nigerian comedienne Anita Asuoha who is widely known as Real Warri Pikin has disclosed that the majority of people in her generation experienced traumatic childhood events as children.

She stated that she would not advise modern parents to raise their kids the way the parents of her generation did.

Real Warri Pikin warned that modern parents will have many regrets if they raise their children in the same manner as the majority of her generation did in a popular parenting video.

She said in a video titled, 'Pls let's wake up as parents', that: “We cannot afford to raise our kids like our parents did. A lot of us had traumatizing childhood. We’re still broken, were still hurt; not healed. And subconsciously or consciously, we’re raising our kids like our parents.

“There’s no psychological safety around the space that they live in. You’re not a safe place for them to ask questions or talk to. A lot of things are happening in your house, to them.

“And in the next 26 or 30 years, they’ll tell you. And you’ll say, ‘Had I known’.

“Only up naim your eye dey. Na only to beat pikin you know. Only rough love you know. Emotionally, you’re unavailable.

“The only thing they have towards you is fear. That’s very wrong parenting.”
