Stereotypes keep children alive until higher cognition kicks in and that learn consequences
Now I do agree some of the stereotypes are antiquated, biased, and need a 21st century refresh, but there's more there than obedience.
- ajuc 2y agoIt's not teaching "fire burns", it's teaching "whatever authority tells you - you should do, even if you really want to investigate for yourself, because you'll die". Which I call obedience. And yeah - it's useful for parents because when your kid runs towards a busy street you don't have time to explain the reasoning and persuade it to go back. You need it to listen to you immediately. So it has some value. But let's not sugercoat it in psychological theories. It's simply obedience.
