1. Leashes for children
Leashes for children are common in the United States. This helps parents not to lose their child in the right place, as well as to control children if there are several of them on a walk. This tradition also has opponents who consider this an infringement of the rights of the child. Nevertheless, today you do not seem to be a child on a leash in the United States.
2. Falling asleep early
There are also parents in our country who manage to put their children to bed at 7-8 pm, but this is a rare exception. Moreover, in the States, it is a very common situation. So the children have time to sleep by the beginning of the school day, and the parents have time for themselves.
3. Strange names
In the United States, any word can become a name - and no one will be surprised. Celebrities have brought fashion for "exclusive" names. It sounds pretty poetic - for example, Blue Ivy (Blue Ivy). But in translation it is - Blue Ivy, no longer such a beautiful name for a girl, right?In our country, every such experiment with ordinary words instead of a name looks like crazy.
4. Holidays in honor of the unborn child
If in our country there is still a "sign" that a child does not need to buy anything in advance, then in the USA even his birth is celebrated in advance. Gifts are brought to the expectant mother, the holiday is magnificently furnished, guests are offered treats.
5. Late potty training
In the States, they do not compete whose child was previously potty trained, and in general they do not rush children with this. The optimal age is 2.5-4 years. As much as possible without pressure on the child in order to preserve him and the parental nerves.
