Why in Italy it is not customary to wean children from diapers and dummy
Children seem to be the same everywhere. Restless, noisy, curious. But parenting different countries. What is considered normal abroad can be perceived with misunderstanding. Exactly how some of the behavior patterns of parents there surprise our moms and dads.
Today's edition. "Site" Let’s talk about sunny Italy. Or rather, in what conditions children grow up there and what attitude of parents they get used to from an early age. It is quite interesting to compare with our realities, in order, perhaps, to look and take some tricks into service.
The first thing that catches the eye is the adoration with which children are treated here. Moreover, the child is loved not only by his parents, aunts and grandparents, but also by all people around him. Both the bartender and the newspaper salesman will smile at the baby, say something to him. In any case, parents with a child are given attention.
At the same time, these strangers may not address their father or mother at all, as if they are not nearby. Curiously, babies are treated the same way as animals. There is nothing offensive here, because for Italians, both dogs and babies - this is another reason for a smile and affection.
It is also interesting that if you look at any busy playground, then mainly dads tinker with children. The same thing happens on beaches and near swimming pools. At the same time, the mother can sit nearby with a glossy magazine in her hands, while the father rushes with the child here and there.
That’s because at home with the child engaged more mother. Outside the home, the initiative goes to the fathers. Spending time with your child will be a pleasure. Surely. Italian I would never say that raising a child is a woman’s job. On the contrary, he will be very eager to get involved in the process.
A special joy for the head of the family, if a girl was born. There is a saying: “A girl was born – my father’s joy.” Baby dads love crazy. Boys are more attached to their mothers. And even adult Italian machos up to 40 years old can listen to their mother. Even living under the same roof as your mother is common for many Italian adults.
In many ways. child-worship This is because families usually have one child. Less than two. In addition, women decide on childbirth after 30. Approximately a third of Italian firstborns give birth after 35 years, and 6% give birth to their first child after 40 years. Therefore, parental love just an avalanche falls on the only and long-awaited child.
Italians are very worried about children, so it is simply impossible to see a child without supervision. Up to 6-7 years, the child appears on the street only accompanied by adults. Older children spend a lot of time at home. More often there they are busy watching TV, games, reading. Therefore, there are enough teenagers on the streets, but children aged 7-13 years are not visible.
In terms of behavior, Italian children are allowed almost everything. They can scream furiously, run around and break all the rules and regulations we have. They can be rude to older relatives and talk sharply with peers. But they won't be blamed for it. They won't even make a comment.
Italians believe that this is how a child expresses itself, and if he is disturbed, if you suppress him, he will grow up downtrodden, complex and quiet. And how will he make his way in life when all his peers are “self-expressed”?
To sum up, Italian parents do everything in parenting. so that the child is not upset. No complaints, let alone penalties. Sometimes it gets funny. For example, if the child does not want to part with the nipple, then he can return to it from time to time in junior grades. And if he likes diapers, then he does not part with it.
Italian mothers only smile good-naturedly and say that they do not bother about it. They are not in a hurry and the child does not hurry, so as not to force him to stress again. After all, by the age of 16, the child in any case will cease to be interested in the nipple, and will definitely stop walking in pants for need.
All that remains is envy. endurance such parents.
