Raising children today: Which way culture?

Parenting

I believe it was Marcus Garvey who said that a people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots. Culture is a way of life.

It is a combination of social behaviour, customs and habits individuals in a certain community follow. In countries like Kenya, our culture is heavily influenced by the ethnic communities we belong to.

However, we are living in a time where children from the time they talk and walk are bombarded with Western culture. From the songs they listen to, the books they read, toys they play with to their favourite cartoons.
