Yes much does depend on parents in rearing their children. If that was only thing involved, the discussion is closed.

But what does a parent depend on?

I'd argue that yes Black/Afrikan people do have different views than europeans that're used in child rearing. From what's called, "Worldviews." One major factor in our practices is a lack of knowing and believing that such exists.

Remember Les McCann's recording: "Compared to what?" Until we recognize that comparatively there're differences, there will be confusions in understanding why we think, speak and act as we do. Most of us here, methink, are of Afrikan descent who're living in a virtually totally controlled by European Cultural thought and behavior.
