David F. Lancy, professor of anthropology, Utah State University, and author of The Anthropology of ChildhoodWhat have been the main differences

between child rearing practices in foreign countries and the U.S.?

David: In foreign countries, benign neglect (ignoring) is one of the fundamental differences. Children have a lot more autonomy from parental management and interference. Kids are allowed to roam around their village. Fathers play almost no role. Here is a lot less playing with their children. Other children are considered their playmates, not the parents.

David F. Lancy, professor of anthropology, Utah State University, and author of The Anthropology of ChildhoodHave you noticed a better way to discipline?David: No. The most common form of discipline that one

observes is corporal punishment. I do not recommend this, but unfortunately in many societies this is accepted. Other societies don’t have as many discipline issues because they are not being confined to cars, supermarkets, churches, etc. They are allowed to roam free. One of our problems is that we place immature human beings in places where they are expected to act like adults. Children want to fit in. They want to be included. So one of the most effective strategies is to deny children social privileges. What we see consistently is far less parenting, and more well adjusted kids. Kids figure things out on their own and they adjust their behavior as they mature.

Charity Matthews of Foodlets & Huffington Post Parents, an American mom currently living in ItalyCharity: One of the main things I noticed is

that in Italy, you never tell them ‘no’ until they turn 5! Whether it be running wild or anything else.
