The TFAL crew is reunited in studio after a few months of travels to Canada and the Philippines. This episode is inspired by a The Tagalog Project Instagram post that highlighted positive Pilipino Praises. When TFAL shared this post the feedback was on a certain theme. “Positive” parenting seemed like a foreign concept to several TPALs.
While Filipino parents may not show their love through these phrases, they may do so through other ways like asking “Kumakain ka na? Did you eat yet?” In this episode we highlight our experiences or lack there of with “positive” parenting.
