Why I Stopped Spanking My Children – Actress Daramola-Salako

Actress, Foluke Daramola-Salako, who has always shown undying love for her children on social media, says she doesn’t believe in using the cane on her children any more.

The
actress told Sunday Scoop that over the years, she had realised that
using the cane on children doesn’t mean they would be well behaved. 
Daramola-Salako stated, “I have learnt that you don’t need to shout at
your children for them to be better. As a parent, you have to understand
the weaknesses and strengths of your children. If you need to apologise
to your children, please do. With that, you will not push them outside
and they will remain your friends. In the past, I used to beat my
children but I don’t do that again because it doesn’t solve anything.
Whenever I talk to my daughter, she stays calm. But those times I used
to whip her, I realised that she became tougher. I felt that she could
stop telling me things about her and I didn’t want that for myself.”

Describing motherhood as fun and challenging at the same time, Foluke
said, “When they become teenagers, you have to take your time to
understand them. If care is not taken, they can grow away from you and
you will not know them anymore. Also, I don’t want to do anything that
will make my children have inferiority complex.”
