Correct parenting is one of the most subjective topics around. Everybody has their own unique approaches to parenting, and we’re only recently able to slowly have a better grasp as to what “correct” parenting looks like. We’ve only recently moved past negative reinforcement, and learning to utilize positive reinforcement as the benefits have recently under studies show to be a lot more positive. Yet this research and this knowledge is not always exposed to upcoming parents, and sometimes parents never learn such vital information ever. Instead, it’s heavily believed in most communities that listening to those who have parented before, are the experts. This causes a problem where methods that are scientifically proven to be problematic (such as hitting your children), are still utilized to this day because old methods and word of mouth tends to be the main source of information parents rely on. In places such as Osaka Japan, it’s culturally understood that the parents there are severely strict and very violent. Under western views, the parenting methods there are severe, but under Eastern views this is considered the norm. It’s important to be able to get the correct information out there so mentally (and even physically) speaking, our future generations are healthier in comparison to the generation before them.
