Most parents would claim that they could only do the best in raising their children based on their own experiences, beliefs, and passed down information. Some will adjust their child-raising techniques based on what they liked or disliked from their own childhood, and what they enjoyed and didn’t enjoy. They use this information to create a new platform in their own household to do “the best they can do with what they know.” I personally have used this reasoning enough times to justify the perceived good or bad behavior of my children.
