Does anyone know of any decent books or websites that talk about parenting norms in different countries? I was really intrigued by a thread on here last week where an English woman working as an au pair in Sweden was so horrified by what she saw as abuse that she called social security on the parents, and a Swedish poster now living in England talked about some of the things that are usual in the UK which Swedes see as bad parenting.
I belong to a US, a UK and an Australian parenting forum, and the differences stand out to me, but I'm really fascinated and want to research further. Does anyone else know about/care about this stuff?
Otherwise I'm just going to write it myself. As soon as someone gives me a huge research grant, obviously.
