Good Children, Silent Pain: When Obedience Hides Struggles

Описание: Many African parents are proud of the “good child” — quiet, obedient, respectful, and never causing trouble.

But sometimes, good behavior can hide silent pain.

In many homes, children learn early to avoid mistakes, avoid questions, and avoid expressing their feelings. Over time, they stop talking — not because they are okay, but because they don’t feel safe to share.

In this video, we discuss:
• Why some obedient children are emotionally withdrawn
• Signs your “good child” may be silently struggling
• How fear-based parenting affects emotional health
• How African parents (at home and in the diaspora) can build emotional safety
• Practical ways to help your teen open up again

The goal is not just respectful children.
The goal is emotionally healthy adults.
