The Power of Superstitions in Parenting
Parents often rely on various rituals or routines, no matter how trivial or irrational they may seem, in hopes of gaining an edge in the challenging task of parenting. From reading a specific book every night to taking the exact same family vacation every year, these superstitions provide comfort and a sense of control in the face of the uncertainties of parenting. While this behavior may appear absurd to outsiders, parents are willing to try anything that works, regardless of how illogical it may be, as long as it provides a positive outcome.
