Why do people talk somehow ancient/wise/superior parenting-Techniken about African like her/it?

I don\'t know whether you know what I mean, but that I parenting-Bücher and web sites read, where an author or accidental internet person make hint to the fact, that "that is that, for what they always have made Africa. es\'s never a country in Africa, only "this is what they do on the continent of Africa" somewhere. and esnahm \'s at, to show this, something? ICH\'ve hörte it in hint too todder, nursing, the roller and even vaccination refusal. Why should I worry which people do in Africa? As the one Pr isüfung from something at all? Africans should für any reason, about which I don\'t know, wisely is?

Additional details

it read this ii in the gladdest baby on it, for example.

You/they are right, the most parenting-Bücher are not so bad.

Now, I adopted two children from Africa and had to put in some of my parenting, drafts accordingly.

I must point out, however, that Africa is a continent, not a country. Ethiopia is not Kenya. Mozambique is not Libya. Zaire is not Liberia. Therefore, if I, that say, hear/read-Sachen is "this, as it is done in Africa, becomes I a little annoyed. Languages, culture, traditions, beliefs in a St,those are not ück Africa for resembling as it is in each other part of Africa.

But going back to that, what I learned,: (west) African mothers don\'t play. There is no, you time ways out". there is not any not bribing für good behavior. The child, the first time, obeys or gives immediate consequences it. My children with G became before adoptionürteln and counters spanks. This was meant culturally acceptible, but doesn, \'t, thereß it a cultural practice, that I wanted to adopt, was.

I learned that I" had to "bark in order to be listened to it. To somebody of the didn\'t understands, it probably sounded like me, a quantity screamed!

But there are good matters approximate, (west), African culture also. But the vaccination abrogation matter is undoubtedly because of not having access to vaccinations. EinEin Mad little in the orphanage, where lived my children, suffered at polio. EineEine of the stations at the orphanage died of tetanuses. Therefore, somebody bem twistsühend, to use Africa as an example of the vaccination refusal, probably matters. A quantity.

New mommy to a 5 month old.

from StormMis.... Yeap, I know it... only gaze on it for example:

durchdurch storyint... and in africa most of the children lived living old at the age of 5 yrs

therefore, everything, which they say seriously, takes dont i

durchdurch Kimberly H, as means children, 22 months, and 6 further months, a family of Etheopia, was for itself from me moved upward, the most recent was 11, with few children in the nieghborhood for her/it/them, that played with it, spent her/it/them in my apartment she/it after periods, I helped her/it/them with English, and she/it became my mother\'s helper. She/it first was schüchtern, but started slowly to tell, as they treat babies in her/its/their country. One Mütter machten\'nt gets as tried, because always it a sister or aunt, gave, or relatively to help, she/it did\'nt-Schrei as much, because they were bu always held any one, and they never were placed alone to sleep, that always is hugged with a relative, from which her/its/their family believed even pole from him/it, that I would place the toddler into a playpen,(thought for him/it him/it, any animal cage was similar, she would help a quantity and so always, on manners, loved that I thought, my babies would spoil, but it comforted her/it/them. The young Mad little became my regular babysitter, until she/it went away to college, and as other parents saw her/it/them with my children, they all wanted that she/it sits, because thier jokes, my children still remember Mimi, from Africa, would stop you a 2 year old fit of rage, with an embrace!! There must be something, which they know, for me lots helped!

from SeaShell... I never has been fitting everything like it...

It nurses whether a bottle feeding mommy wants to admit, or not, is the healthiest for the baby, except if the mommy has any illness, or the baby has a snapping problem.

And this is only one supposition, but in rural Africa, women do like much work as well, if no more, as men does. You/they make this for pregnancy & directly after birth. No matter like uncomfortable, heyß, or painfully it maybe is, they carry her/its/their babies on her/its/their backs, instead of she/it in the cottage in silence, where she/it could get an animal to leave. The mother places her/its/their baby, MUCH h,öher as her/its/their own needs/comfort honest is. You/they make the best with that, what they have. You/they place auf\'t sent her/its/their children the whole day to daycare away.... you form a special Nähe. Children in Africa are a devil of a quantity to her/its/their parents/elders more respectful than the average American child. Maybe das\'s, why she/it "only" Africa as an example uses. It could also be, thereß the author this ONE-Buches African family life studied.
