Comedian Amooti Omubalanguzi has shared some heartfelt advice for fellow parents encouraging them to build open, friendly relationships with their children, a principle he practices with his own daughter, TikTok comedy creator Coco Must Shine.
Amooti mentions a common issue he observes among Ugandan parents: the focus on maintaining strict respect and a strong public image, often at the expense of their children’s self-expression.
According to Amooti, this approach can hinder children from bringing out their best qualities.
Parents should be friends to their children and not scare them to get respect. The children know you are the parent; therefore, there’s no need to set an environment that scares them.
Amooti’s actions reflect his advice; he frequently supports Coco’s creative journey, even appearing in her skits, which has allowed her to shine on TikTok.
