Western parenting knowledge is a conclusion drawn from practice and based on the law of children's physical and mental development. Continuous research has found that this method is closer to the growth of children and is also beneficial to their health. The traditional way of parenting inherits the ideas of the older generation, which is generally the accumulation of experience and customs. Not only does it lack scientific basis, but sometimes it is superstitious. For example, the older generation will breast-feed their children from mouth to mouth, which will easily spread some diseases in the mouth to children. Therefore, when the two ways are put in front of us at the same time, everyone will choose the scientific way.
With the gradual popularization of the Internet, people have seen richer cultures and can constantly compare them. Generally, they will choose better and more suitable practices for children, especially young people pay great attention to their education. Once they find a more scientific way to raise children, they will definitely refuse those risky practices. For most people, there is a herd mentality. Everyone says that a good way will be recognized by most people. In particular, many people have suffered losses in traditional parenting knowledge, and more and more people will refuse through the internet, which is easy to be one-sided.
To sum up, although we know that everyone attaches great importance to children, we must be rational. Not all traditional parenting knowledge is false, and not all westernized parenting knowledge is correct. Parents should choose more suitable parenting methods according to their children's different situations, which is more conducive to their growth and development.
