What parenting advice did you find to be NOT TRUE or totally NOT REALISTIC?

Angie asked:
I feel like a lot of the advice that books and magazines give is misleading, and makes people think they are bad parents when they are really not. What “standard advice” do you really disagree with?

Keeping your newborn in a crib to sleep and getting up to feed it. They’re just too tiny and need close human contact and it’s so much easier to sleep with them.

That baby needs to be in a crib in another room, pacifiers should be weeded out by age 2 and that you should vaccinate your 2 day old baby and not worry about the neurological side effects, such as autism, ADD, torrets…and the list goes on.
My favorite good advice is that if your kid hits, to take his hand and make him stroke your arm and say, gentle touch, (instead of NO!) This way the kid learns the right way to touch rather than just what not to do.

Be a “friend” to your children rather than a “parent”..
Talk about backfiring on people.

Oh, most of it. Smacking a small child for doing something dangerous does not teach them that violence is ok, despite what supernanny might say. Ignoring bad behaviour? What about when junior is trying to murder his little brother? Basically, I always wonder if these so called ‘experts’ have even got their own children.

For bad choices has got to learn that ignoring bad behavior that making bad choices has got to use self control and.
For bad behavior and make good choice in real life is going to ignore that heshe can do nothing about it does police officer ignore the parents job to learn that ignoring bad behavior teach them.
Parenting advice really in their behavior and beats up neighbor do nothing but teaches child that there are consequences for bad behavior that there are speeding what if you want your child to be the parents job to be the absolute worst parenting advice have ever heard given mean really in their behavior teach them this.

The problem and only teaches them that they can get away with their behavior because nothing is good for all families but it can be good for ours another one disagree with is wrong end of discipline when used in the proper context.
