Be the Stress In Your Child’s Life!” – Seun Kuti Sparks Debate With Unusual Parenting Advice

Popular Nigerian singer, Seun Kuti, has shared some unconventional parenting tips about how he relates with his daughter.

In an interview with NotJustOk Originals on YouTube, Seun revealed that he enjoys spending time at home, especially because it allows him to “stress” his daughter — a playful strategy he says helps maintain balance in their relationship.

According to him, parents should learn to “stress” their children first so that the kids don’t end up stressing them.

He explained:

“Most parents don’t realize that the reason their kids stress them is because they don’t stress them first. Let me give you a parenting tip — these children think they’re small and can stress you because they don’t have sense yet. Quickly reverse it. Be the stress in your child’s life. That’s my favorite thing to do — I just stay at home and stress her so she won’t have time to stress me.”

The Afrobeat singer also compared his home life to his time on stage, saying both give him a sense of control and fulfillment.

“When I’m not at home, I love being on stage. That’s another place where I have full control — I’m stressing a bunch of people there too,” he joked. “So yes, that’s me, the stresser.”
