How do we decide what shared body of knowledge to pass on when, as you say, all the books give wildly different advice?

- e40 6y agoI personally think we need to value the idea of that body of knowledge, as a culture. Then, we can start to compare and contrast styles, etc. The whole tiger mom/dad routine is so horrible for children. The lack of autonomy can have dire consequences later in life, and I think we're just starting to see that. I know my tendency is to treat this like a problem, which needs data and analysis, refinement and tuning. But, if we were 10 generations into that process, I feel we'd have something to show for it. As is, every generation starts from zero (I think most people generally wing it).
- selestify 6y agoYeah, that’s fair. It strikes me as interesting that this isn’t a solved problem yet after millennia of civilization... Do you have any pointers off the top of your head for resources on the negative effects of tiger parenting, or about parenting in general? No worries if not, I just figure it would save me a lot of effort in my own research
