I think this may refer to the home culture of the children's family and how it impacts the child's behaviour... For example some cultures do everything for their child from feeding, to dressing, to bathing up until the child is 8 years old. This has nothing to do with "babying" the child rather the culture that children are brought up this way. However, in other cultures children are independent and do things for themselves from a young age itself...

Hope this helps!

This is the start of my answer:

A child’s cultural upbringing has a substantial impact on their behaviour. The family unit is where the child is first exposed to relationships, behavioural expectations and how to communicate with others. There are some significant differences between cultures and what is expected. Cultural behaviour can affect every aspect of raising a child – from feeding, toileting, communicating, discipline and reasoning.

In Western cultures (Australia, America, And The UK) Children are encouraged to be assertive and to value independence. Being quiet, withdrawn and unassertive are taken for being shy fearful and socially awkward. Whereas in East Asian cultures (South Korea & China for example) Inhibited and quiet behaviour is viewed as being respectful, obedient and well mannered.

Hi Lorina,
I'm confused with this question. Can you help me?
How can cultural beliefs and practice impact upon a child’s behaviour? How do different families respond to inappropriate behaviour? Why do educators need to be careful not to impose their own beliefs on children? (250-300 words)

thanks!!
