Parenting Styles around the World, Many Paths to for Raising Children

In today’s thought provoking episode Dr. T reviews the article, “How Cultures around the World Think about Parenting” by Amy S. Choi. She then reviews an ABC news article profiling a parent in South Carolina, recently arrested for leaving her 9 year old unsupervised in a playground. In Japan, this would be no issue.

The article links are below.
