Habits KZN learned from their parents
Updated | By Jane Linley-Thomas
From teaching us how to walk and talk to then shaping our characters, our first educators are our parents, but they also teach us lessons that come up in our behaviour as adults.
One of the habits I picked up from my parents is that we speak in what's known to some friends as the Linley lingo.
We make up our own words and my mom, sister, and I also have a certain facial expression when someone tells us something moving, cute or sweet. We do this thing where we tilt our head to the side and make this frown like face and purse our lips as a form of 'oh my word, my heart'!
With that in mind, I wanted to see if you too had a behaviour or way of doing things that is different to the norm.
Thank you for all your responses, this is what you had to say:
Never grew up with parents but my grandmother on the other hand was an amazing woman. She always told me success is determined by failure.

To pray (amongst the rest of the wonderful habits) ...and as I have grown through the years being a parent myself I understand why it is and was so important. 🙏
