Media personality Faridah Nakazibwe has opened up about her parenting approach, explaining how she raises her three biological children alongside Briella, the daughter of Ugandan singer Bruno K, whom she also takes care of.
Nakazibwe says raising children in an era dominated by social media requires parents to teach them how to navigate online spaces responsibly. Rather than simply trying to keep the children away from social platforms, she focuses on helping them understand the consequences of their actions and the importance of protecting their personal image.
According to the media personality, she regularly reminds the children that their behaviour can affect not only their own reputations but also hers as their mother.
“They know their limits for the good of me, their mother, because I have an image to protect. I tell them that whatever they do greatly impacts on my name, and if you love mummy, it’d be hard for you to be the one damaging her,” Nakazibwe said.
Her remarks highlight the importance she places on accountability and helping the children understand how their decisions can affect the wider family.
Beyond setting expectations around their public image, Nakazibwe says she maintains an open relationship with the children, allowing them to discuss issues affecting their lives, including subjects that may be uncomfortable to address.
However, open communication does not mean she avoids firm discipline when the children misbehave. Nakazibwe explained that while she is willing to listen and talk through different issues, she also believes in taking misconduct seriously.
“You can’t do something I get to know about it and I don’t beat you up. I discipline them thoroughly,” she said.
Her comments reflect a parenting style that combines communication and clear boundaries with a traditional approach to discipline. The statement about physical punishment was part of her own account of how she parents; the supplied material does not provide further details about the circumstances in which she disciplines the children.
Nakazibwe’s role in Briella’s life has previously attracted attention, particularly after reports that she ended a relationship because her partner was reportedly unwilling to help raise the young girl.
Her latest remarks offer another glimpse into the responsibilities she has taken on at home and the values she seeks to instil in the children under her care.
For Nakazibwe, parenting involves more than providing for children. It also means teaching them to make thoughtful decisions, communicate openly and understand the consequences of their behaviour, while ensuring that rules and accountability remain part of family life.
