| description | This study explored the role of parents in promoting African values among children in the Buganda Kingdom. African values include a wide range of cultural norms, traditions, and beliefs deeply embedded in society. The Buganda Kingdom, with its rich cultural heritage, provided a unique setting for examining how parents transmit these values to the younger generation. Using qualitative research methods such as interviews and focus group discussions, data were collected from parents and children within the kingdom. The study looked at the strategies parents use to instill African values in their children, the challenges they encounter, and the perceived impact of this cultural transmission on children's identity formation and socialization.
The findings indicated that parents play a crucial role in promoting African values among children in the Buganda Kingdom. They employ various methods, including storytelling, cultural rituals, and role modeling, to teach traditional norms and practices. However, the study also identified challenges such as modernization, globalization, and generational gaps, which threaten the continuity of African values. The influence of parents is essential for preserving cultural heritage and fostering a sense of cultural pride and identity. These findings have implications for family dynamics, educational policies, and community initiatives aimed at promoting cultural preservation and the intergenerational transmission of African values in the Buganda Kingdom and beyond. |
