The report: Mother ... there is more than one
A few days ago it was broadcast on La 2, in the Babel program, whose objective is to show us the cultural diversity in which we currently live, a report entitled “Mother ... there is more than one“, In which you can observe the style of parenting that takes place in other cultures.
The report is short, it does not reach nine minutes, however we can see how prolonged breastfeeding, schooling, taking children stuck to your body during the day and other customs that are in question in the Western world are usual and perfectly normal for moms who come from other cultures.
This is precisely what makes us think the most: Why the upbringing that Western countries defend, not holding in their arms so as not to spoil, not breastfeeding for a long time so as not to “addict” and not sleeping with them so they have their space is better What do they do?
All the mothers that appear in the video, immigrants in our country, explain that here they receive many tips and recommendations from our people (also the Spaniards we receive them, of course), of the style “if you wear it that way it will hurt your back”, “ if you take it that way you will hurt him ”or“ if you continue to breastfeed, he will be very dependent ”and the mother who explains that she also slept with her parents and is now a normal person. She is a woman so "dependent" that she has been able to go with her family to live in another country. Let's see how many “independent” Spaniards are capable of doing something similar (if many are not even able to leave home with thirty years).
The conclusion that is drawn is, in short, that mother there is more than one, because parenting styles there are more than one. Personally I identify a lot with everything these moms comment and defend, since they have the baby's well-being in focus and act thinking about them, without dosing the contact, caresses or arms and closely resembling the parenting style that WHO defends when it talks about breastfeeding for at least two years, which Sue Gerhardt defends when he says that we should take a lot of children and make them partakers of our lives because touch and attachment are vital in childhood to lay the foundation for healthy mental health and ultimately to all those theories that attach great importance to the emotional bond between parents and children for the sake of children's self-esteem.
