Description - Things That My Father Forgot to Tell Me: A letter to Teenagers and Adults Who Seek the Wisdom of the Elders by John Chitakure

All parents want their children to be well-behaved, law abiding, and successful in life. In most African communities, although parents have the primary responsibility in the elementary socialization of their children, siblings, peers, classmates, teachers, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and neighbors play a significant role. Now with many Africans living far away from some of the communal moral educators of their children, many parents have become almost the sole moral teachers to their children. While information on morality is almost ubiquitous, parents and their children need reliable and appropriate learning resources. Things That My Father Forgot to Tell Me, is a didactic letter written by a concerned father to his diasporaic sons, which utilizes the Shona traditional proverbs and experiential wisdom. The letter navigates crucial topics such as self-discipline, decision-making, generosity, and friendship. It is a letter for everyone-teenagers, teachers, parents, single-mothers, and pastors.
