“…Differences in parents' behaviors are also a function of affordances and constraints in physical environments. For example, Yoruba parents in Nigeria socialize their children's behavior related to food in response to changes in the availability of food caused by distinct rainy and dry seasons (Babatunde & Setiloane, 2014). Parents socialize their children to be thrifty, delay gratification, and show proper etiquette by teaching them not to visit other families during meals, to be patient waiting for food, and to eat valuable fish and meat at the end of the meal.…”

This article reviews contemporary research on cross-cultural similarities and differences in parenting. The article begins by providing a definition of culture and how both parenting and culture can change over historical time. The article then presents some classic theoretical frameworks for understanding culture and parenting before considering why parenting may be similar across cultures and why parenting may be different across cultures. The article next turns to a review of cross-cultural similarities and differences in several aspects of parenting, including physical caregiving, cognitive stimulation, warmth and acceptance, control and monitoring, and discipline. Cultural normativeness and beliefs on the legitimacy of parental authority are then considered as potential moderators that contribute to cross-cultural similarities and differences in relations between parenting and child outcomes. The article then considers implications for parenting interventions and laws and policies related to parenting. Finally, the article suggests directions for future research.

“…The social importance attached to children among the Yoruba cannot be overemphasised. The social value and importance of children with foundations in pre-colonial cultural values remain sacrosanct even in modern times (Babatunde and Setiloane, 2014). Most significant is the social construction on the superiority of children over wealth, which this section discusses.…”

The Yoruba of Southwestern Nigeria describes children as the heritage of the society because children occupy a special place in societal survival and continuity. Children are esteemed and appreciated. Thus, the embedded culture propagates the essentiality of children, the need for proper socialisation and internalisation to make a responsible being ( Omoluabi). Also, children are prioritised above material wealth, and the essentiality of child wellbeing and education is emphasised in aspects of popular culture such as oral poetry, proverbs, local songs and popular music among others. Using extant elements of Yoruba popular culture which have remained dominant, this article contextually examines the value of children among the Yoruba.

“…"The traditional Yoruba way encompasses respect for the elder, nurture and care of the young to become responsible adults, care of the elderly while still alive, and rituals of annual remembrance to keep the memory of the dead alive among the living" (Babatunde & Setiloane, 2014, p. 242). Yoruba households are patrilineal and often polygamous with men being more privileged than women (Babatunde & Setiloane, 2014). The role of women in traditional Yoruba society is complex, with wives being able to accumulate property to which their husbands have no claim; however, women generally do not have inheritance rights to their husbands' property (Aluko, 2015).…”

ABSRACT: Diverse education professionals learned about African cultures in a workshop experience by making African masks using authentic symbolism. Analysis of reflections to evaluate the workshop for applicability to participants with and without African heritage showed that both groups expanded their cultural knowledge of traditional African ethnic groups. Those participants with African heritage noted valuing of women while those without African heritage expressed appreciation for African culture, self-evaluation of work, and the desire to investigate their own heritages.
