Sophia Momodu recently took to her Instagram story to share a troubling incident involving her daughter, Imade Adeleke, shedding light on the importance of teaching children about self-love and kindness.
In the story, Sophia recounted an incident where Imade was teased by a classmate of a different race over the beads in her hair. The distressing experience led Imade to tears, prompting Sophia to address the issue directly by visiting the girl’s mother. Despite the initial conflict, Sophia mentioned that Imade and the classmate eventually made up and are now friends. However, she still exchanges looks with the other mother during school encounters.
Expressing concern over the lack of kindness, which she described as a “pandemic,” Sophia emphasized the importance of instilling values of self-love and kindness in children.
Responding to a direct message criticizing her for confronting the bully’s mother, Sophia explained that she believed it was necessary since the child was too young to fully understand the implications of her actions.
