‘I want to raise well-rounded individuals, not just men’ – Kate Addo on parenting boys

Speaking on JoyPrime’s Lifestyle with Rosie, Ms Addo shared her experience of raising her two sons, both of whom she described as “always big-sized boys”, and reflected on the expectations placed on boys as they grow up in Ghanaian society.

Illustrating some of the challenges of raising energetic boys, Ms Addo recounted an incident involving her twin sons when they were about two years old.

Founder of Dual Concepts Foundation and mother of twin boys, Kate Addo says parents should focus on raising well-rounded individuals rather than allowing societal expectations of masculinity to determine the kind of men their sons become.
