Can the way we parent be transformed across generations? 

In the season premiere of "Mindfully With Tunmise" we explore this intriguing question with none other than my mother-in-law, Mrs. Christiana Olubukola Kuku. 

As a baby boomer, she draws from her rich life experiences to share the vast differences between the parenting methods of her time and those of today. From using fear as a tool to the evolution towards more loving and open communication, Mrs. Kuku’s reflections are both enlightening and heartfelt. She emphasizes the importance of treating children as partners, fostering closeness and better communication.

Next, we navigate the complex social norms and cultural values within family dynamics. I recount my seamless integration into my husband's family, shedding light on the warm acceptance I received. Mrs. Kuku shares her wisdom on managing cultural differences, inspired by her Christian upbringing rooted in love and acceptance. We delve into treating in-laws as one’s own, a principle she adopted from her parents. The emotional segment concludes with a personal story of how her unwavering support and prayers helped me through a period of depression, strengthening our bond and bringing our families closer together.

Finally, we dive into practical parenting advice and the intricacies of family dynamics. Mrs Kuku offers invaluable insights into the importance of setting examples for children and the regrets of missed conversations about marriage and family values. We discuss the challenges of transitioning from a monogamous to a polygamous home and its impact on relationships. Emphasizing the necessity of open, honest discussions with children, we also introduce the concept of "beating in love," where discipline is paired with affectionate guidance. Our conversation culminates with a deep reflection on self-love, patriotism, and spirituality, encouraging listeners to examine their relationships with themselves, their community, and their spirituality.
