Parenting styles can differ significantly from conventional methods, demonstrating unique approaches among individuals. Some parents choose to breastfeed until their children naturally wean, emphasizing biological over societal expectations. Others refuse to introduce fictional characters such as Santa Claus to avoid lying to their children. Additionally, allowing children to choose a swear word they can use promotes understanding of context and appropriate behavior. This flexibility in parenting encourages personalized upbringing while fostering open communications and truthfulness, contrasting typical societal norms around parenting practices.
"I'm breastfeeding my kids until they wean themselves off of it. I was breastfed until I was four. Just because we're supposed to do something societally doesn't mean it's best biologically."
"I don't lie to my kids. And that means we never did Santa, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, or any other mythical creatures. I don't tell white lies to get out of something inconvenient."
"I am letting my kids pick a swear word they can use at home past the age of six. They can add one word each year on their birthdays."
"I say, 'there are no bad words, just bad timing.'"
