Filipino parents are among the most loving and supportive parents in the world. However, they can also among the most toxic parents with some cultural things that are quite common to Filipinos no matter where they are.
Raising kids is hard enough;
parenting in a cross-cultural setting makes it even harder. That is why most
Filipino parents default to the traditional Filipino parenting ways because
that is their comfort zone. However, not everything that Filipino parents do is
helpful and relevant these days.
There are some things that we can improve and perhaps even do away with, even if it is already part of the Filipino culture. After all, not everything cultural and traditional is beneficial in the long run.
