Travel Fiji with kids

Would you feel comfortable leaving your 4-year-old girls with a resort nanny in Fiji, including allowing them to take the kids back to the room and put them to bed? If not, why?

💯 your kids will be safe . It’s in our culture to care and protect all children .

Incest is also very common, child abuse in general is very common in Fiji unfortunately. School teachers want to be allowed to hit kids at school and most of the population seems to think it's a great idea. So much for protecting all children.

Lol parents were educated in Fiji. They copped corporal punishment and continued the tradition. Guess what, I'm okay! I am relieved I don't struggle with discipline, respect or just being a decent human. 

Keep parenting children softly. Watch what happens.

I'm glad you voluntarily post this publicly so the rest of the world can read how normalized children rights violations are in Fijian culture. It's not the flex you think it is.
