Parenting is an activity rooted not only in one’s own childhood experiences, but in the culture one grew up and lives in. Culture can have a powerful effect on parenting styles and practices, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For example, a culture in which the father is expected to be a stern disciplinarian and the breadwinner will have a different effect on child-rearing practices than one in which both parents work full time and parenting responsibilities are shared.
