Parenting styles is dependent on the Cultural Mores and Norms as well as memes... and whole lots sub cultural and cultural conditioning. Further, each culture and nation has its own collective consciousness.
What is considered horrifying in one culture is considered completely normal in another. What is percieved as oppression for one is considered to be liberating for another.
The only constants in any culture is LOVE. With LOVE all works out in the end. It may not be as envisioned but it is as it is to be.
I have a spiritual collegue that is Chinese and has written about China and child rearing. The Difference in Butterflies, A Chinese Dancers memoir of her flight from inner and outer tyranny, Yung Yung Tsaui.
I would also recommend the movie "Babies, the Movie." To see first hand the Unity Consciousness that LOVE is as a constant no matter what culture one is in. There is so much more that is similar than different.
Just here in the states there is an infinite array of parenting styles-- cultural norms, memes and mores... it is vastly different from family to family... and that is just here. To generalize is to do a diservice to yourself and others. Love is really the key. LOVE
I found this interesting study on parenting styles.
