She said parents should be both examples and authority to dress their school-age children in ways as to appear decent.
Speaking at the culture day at Beulah International Kids Academy in Kurudu, Mpieri said, “the bottom line is that parents should address this, and I believe the school is the best place to start such. Children should be taught decent ways of dressing. People go about naked in the name of dressing.”
She lamented further that, “cultural ways of dressing is fading out”, noting that sticking with “cultural ways of dressing has a greater sense of decency.
“I feel we can address a lot of problems, even character [perceptions] when we come down to handle dressing,” Mpieri noted.
Decent dressing is not choosing modern over cultural, she said, but cutting out extremes of both cultural and modern dress modes which enhance nudity and sticking with the conventional yet fashionable.
Mrs Olubukola Oshotimehin, recommended parents to look out for discipline, respect, elegance, smartness and spirit-filled (DRESS) clothing for their children, insisting, “we parents make clothes for our children, we must be conscious of what we put on. When parents wear clothes that are transparent or expose their breasts, what image are we presenting?
“The way we dress our children should bring glory, honour and decency to our children. It is not about being against modern ways of dressing but to be mindful of what we put on,” she said.
