Which of the following would be considered part of the conventional wisdom regarding proper parenting that has withstood the tes
NeTakaya

The correct answer is D) None of the above. Considering the range of opinions on virtually every aspect of parenting, there is no commonly agreed conventional wisdom.

That is why is so difficult t come up with one aspect to be considered part of the conventional wisdom regarding proper parenting that has withstood the test of time.

It all depends on the parent's background, culture, customs, and family tradition. For one culture, conventional wisdom can be one thing, while for another culture can be completely the opposite.

The traditional way to raise children for the American family is completely different from the way Mexican families raise children. If we compare these two with the way Japanese families raise their children, is very different.

So traditions vary according to the way families have been educated in different parts of the world.

SashulF [63]
In this case, "ground zero" means the starting point for an activity (like the American Civil Rights Movement). Georgia and Alabama were considered the starting points for this movement due to events such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott (after Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man) and the campaign to end segregation in Albany, Georgia. These events began the domino effect for the Civil Rights Movement, inspiring other protests and demonstrations to occur across the country.
