One South African lady, Nomazizi Baduza, proved just how revolutionised she was when she shared her parenting style. Baduza is a well-known TikTokker who tackles controversial topics around family and relationships.
In a recent TikTok video, the revolutionary thinker shared her gentle parenting and how she was able to raise their children to lead their own lives. Baduza learned to stay out of the little ones’ business but most of all she shared her life experiences to create a safe space for her children to share theirs with her.
The vulnerability created trust and the willingness for her kids to go to her for relationship advice and other conversations that society would frown upon:
“I told myself that I would learn about my children and allow them to teach me the kind of adults they want to be. We are constantly learning as adults and social media is very helpful as we see other parents tackle certain issues. You want your home to be a safe space for your kids, they don’t have any other home, it starts with us.”
