Stupid Parent Tricks

If you think about it, there are so many things parents do that are counter intuitive and can actually harm their children. For example, telling a young child to remember a meeting spot in a big, foreign place. A lot of these practices are outdated and simply don’t make sense given that we now know better and have better tools to use. Another parenting myth is telling your kid never to talk with strangers. I wonder how many more kids will have to die hiding because rescue workers pass them by since the child is afraid to ask for help.

I invite you to read the article I published on “Don’t talk to strangers and other parenting myths” - I think it will open your eyes wide to things we learned to do as parents and never considered how silly they seem in this day and age. As always, feedback is welcomed!
