- Parenting and child care are universal experiences, yet their practices, challenges, and societal expectations vary across cultures. In Africa, particularly in Rwanda, the journey of parenting and the shift into post-parenting are deeply intertwined with cultural traditions, communal family structures, and economic realities. In African communities, child care is not just the responsibility of the parents but is shared across extended families and community networks. The same holds true in Rwanda, where the extended family plays an active role in child-rearing. At the same time, post-parenting, which focuses on helping children transition into young adulthood, also involves guiding them through education, career choices, and independence. In this content, we will explore post-parenting and child care from the perspective of African values, economic challenges, and the influence of extended family structures, comparing these practices to Western models where applicable.
