After the post went viral online, numerous parents and children shared their views on the singer’s take. Read some of their comments below:
Thriftbynikky:
"Very well written. Its one thing to act, its another thing for that act not to loose its translation on the recipient. ."
Foodie_that_cooks:
"She didn’t lie. The fact they you love someone doesn’t mean they feel loved by you! That’s why we have love languages. Get to know and understand people’s love language."
Chu.ndee:
"Many African parents seem to have developed this mentality that children need to be “trained” like animals rather than “educated” like human beings."
Valdonclint:
"This goes out to all the parents that are good in forcing their kids to choose a particular career/profession against their wish. “I want you to be a doctor” when he/she has no interest in it whatsoever."
