Parenting Styles and Approaches
Are parenting styles culturally influenced?
Definitely! Culture shapes parenting beliefs, values, and behaviors—from ideas about discipline to expressions of affection. What’s considered respectful or strict varies worldwide. Embracing your cultural roots while adapting to your child’s unique needs creates a rich and flexible parenting style. Understanding cultural influences helps build empathy and connection within families.
