Clinical psychologist provides clarity on the mother's reaction

Speaking to Briefly News, Dr Keitumetse 'Tumi' Mashego stated that several factors impact how parents parent their children, such as their upbringing, culture, religion, personality, experiences, expectations, internalised view of the world, self or others, and view of how one should behave in front of authority figures.

She adds:

"Some parents internalise a way of parenting inherited from the former generations without questioning it.

"The mother could have certain perspectives or views about what is acceptable. Therefore, it reflects her reference and behaviour expectations in this specific incident between opposite genders."
