In a recent article from BBC America, Ruth Margolis explains why Britons are better than Americans in parenting. She says, British parents “honed a fail-safe formula for moderately-sometimes-probably successful child-rearing.”
That’s an interesting comparison. These are the main points of the paper:
-
British parents assume that medical professionals know their job.
-
British parents let their children eat cake.
-
British parents are proud when their children swear.
-
British parents like to leave their kids alone.
All things that Americans parents would handle very differently, of course.
