Abstract:
This article shows the real challenges that face parents and children in environments that constrain and devalue them, and that also weaken ancient practices and beliefs that have traditionally provided
positive support for the healthy development of their children. A number of clear themes run through the article. These include: the interface of San children with the education system and the clashes that
result; and the differences between San and non-San with respect to discipline.
