“Parents were present physically, but they were shaking, sitting on the couch, crying - all of what represents detox. And they could not look after their children. Children had to look after themselves.Bogopane-Zulu added that children “were exposed to a lot of gender-based violence, where mothers and fathers just could not coexist”.
“So we had to now intervene and interfere in that which was supposed to be the best of family time because parents were fighting.” “We experienced an increase in cyberbullying. It also said to us that there is a lot of policy and there's a lot of education that needs to happen, in terms of parents understanding what kind of content their children are exposed to from the phones we buy them and the time that they spend [on devices],” she said.
Instead of sex education, we need parenting education in schools. We need to teach people how to raise children and not just how to make them. This headline implies that children need to go back to school because they're taken better care of there but that is wrong.
