No. In some cultures and in the past, spanking was seen as a normal form of discipline. Moms would spank their children to correct bad behavior quickly. It doesn't necessarily mean bad parenting as long as it was not excessive and was done with love and the intention to teach right from wrong.
I remember a story where a parent was trying to teach their kid to ride a bike. Instead of holding the bike steady, the parent let go too soon and the kid crashed into a bush. The parent was so busy laughing that they forgot to check if the kid was okay at first. Luckily, the kid was just a bit scratched and more shocked than anything.
My cousin had a situation where his parents were always misplacing his school things. One day, they accidentally threw away his science project that he had been working on for weeks. When he found out, his parents just shrugged and said they thought it was trash. It was really funny in a way, but also a bit frustrating for my cousin.
Often, it's about parents not being fully aware of what their kids are doing. I heard of a story where a dad thought his son was doing homework when in fact the son was building a huge fort out of all the living room furniture. When the dad finally noticed, he was so shocked that he just stared for a while before laughing. Another element could be parents' attempts at discipline that go wrong. A mom might try to ground her daughter but forgets about it after a few hours and then wonders why the daughter isn't taking it seriously.
There was a parent who was supposed to take their kid to a birthday party. But they got the date mixed up and showed up a week early. They were wondering why there was no party going on and the poor kid was so disappointed.
Top parenting stories can impact our parenting style by giving us new ideas. For instance, if we hear about a parent who uses positive reinforcement effectively, we might try that method.
I recommend the two novels, Silent Confession and Lord of the Mysteries. Silent Confession was the work of Chinese writer Wu Qishi, who won the first place in Amazon's Best Book of the Year in 2014. The story was about the tragedy of a girl who had been overly expected by her parents and eventually committed suicide. Lord of the Mysteries was the work of a squid that loved to dive. It told a story in a world of steam and machinery. Both novels had fascinating plots and were suitable for reading about children.
"Scientific Parenting Guide: A 4-year-old practical manual" was a parent-child tutoring novel written by Ma Fei. The novel had been updated to chapter 20, and the latest chapter was called "IQ and EQ." You can read part of the novel or the entire novel on the relevant website. In addition, if you are interested in other similar child-rearing novels, you can refer to the DK Science Parenting Bible: A Guide to Maternity Raising or the Science Parenting Bible (My Pillow Book for Pregnant Parenting).
Well, parenting in cartoon families can have both positive and negative impacts. On one hand, it can showcase good communication and problem-solving skills. On the other hand, some might present overly idealized or exaggerated situations that don't always translate well to real life.
In addition, black moms can be very nurturing. They are quick to comfort their children in times of distress and are strong advocates for their children's education and future opportunities, constantly pushing them to strive for their best.
