I Don’t Beat My Children; It’s Barbaric And Violent- Okyeame Kwame

Renowned Ghanaian highlife musician and songwriter, Kwame Nsiah Apau, well recognized as Okyeame Kwame has recently expressed his strong opposition to the practice of corporal punishment, particularly when it comes to parenting.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuj0EMmOiRA

The ‘Small Small’ hitmaker, while sharing his approach to dealing with the misconduct of his two adorable kids made it known that, he has never resorted to beating or caning his children when they make mistakes emphasizing that it is barbaric and violent to do so.

Okyeame, however, divulged that pampering is not a part of his children’s upbringing either,  Instead, he employs his own method of training, which he referred to as the “role modalism strategy.”

He explained saying, “I don’t beat my children. I consider it the most barbaric thing a human being can do. It is violent.I utilize the concept of mirror neurons through role modalism. Whatever I want my children to do, I lead by example. If I want my children to respect women, I demonstrate respect toward my wife. If I want them to adopt healthy eating habits, I embrace a healthy lifestyle myself.”

Kwame’s stance reflects  a growing global movement towards more compassionate and non- violent approaches to child-rearing. Instead of using what he describes as violence as a means of discipline, the Rap Doctor advocated for alternative methods that promote positive behavior and teach valuable life lessons.
