Programed parents have programmed kids.

What happens after they get away from mommy and daddy?

Fun fact: you are just as biased by not even giving this a chance , simply because in your opinion it's ' right biased based '.

Always love it when someone tries to think for me.

Do you think the OP bothered to research the source of the article for this thread?

"Know your source. Know the bias of your source".

I bet you think it only matters to me if it leans Right.

The thing is that nobody is exclusively centre-right or centre-left, most people can switch depending on the issue. This study does not differentiate nor are authoritative parenting styles exclusively authoritative, there are spectrums with all things and this study just doesn't cut it in any way shape or form.

Additionally, parenting with rigid political ideology perhaps with those beliefs being based on disinformation can also cause problems for children, from both extreme ends.

The consequences of political extremism are not always as dramatic as the documentary portrays, but political talk at the dinner table can affect a child psychologically, especially in terms of increased anxiety. Political ideology has led some of my young clients to say that they wish they could live on a deserted island if it meant they would be able to avoid anyone who thinks differently than they and their family do.

If parents lead the child to believe that those with whom they interact daily are against their beliefs, this could fuel an us-versus-them mentality that makes the child more vulnerable to feeling isolated and anxious.

In recent years, though, political extremism has infiltrated my therapy sessions in more complex ways. For instance, I have worked with far-right parents who voiced fear that liberals were out to harass them, and who believed that food shortages resulting from socialism would prevail in the U.S. under democratic leadership. What to me looked like misperceptions of reality were seen as actual threats by the child’s parents, limiting the impact I could have by trying to help child clients think more realistically.

The key is a two parent household. When you have two well behaved parents, which conservative values tend to lean toward, you have kids who come out better than the liberals who think being a single parent is just fine. Kids miss a lot when there is only one parent. They need both parents being positive role models for them in the house. It's more stable.

Agreed. Two stable, well behaved parents who can lead by example, not just words.

If you are a Democrat you go stay with grammar.

If conservative you become a productive member of society free from welfare and government handouts.


Traditional 2 parent households seem to confuse you and your narratives.
Conservatives do not need a team of educators and a team of psychologists to raise a healthy and productive child that lives a happy and fulfilled life.

They simply need the love and guidance of mommy and daddy with 2 sets of backup parents in Grammy and granpappy.

Liberals can be successful doing this too but choose easier and more self centered avenues of child rearing where the government must subsidize loving the child for them.

This creates a pipeline from cradle to prison.
Single mothers are 20 times more likely to raise a child that ends up in prison where the discipline the child needs as an adolescent is given too late as an incarcerated adult

Name one person on the planet who believes zero mis or dis information.

We all have some wrong ideas about the world we live in.

...which pretty much sums up the woke left wing. I pity the kids raised in the environment.

My oldest son? Meh, we have issues, he was raised in public schools, has issues, trying to adult.

A situation I understand all too well, but it has fortunately gotten better now that the individual has gotten older.

As much as parenting plays a factor, MORE parenting, instead of leaving it to the schools, is probably the better way to go.

Agreed.

Conservatives raising with conservative values isn't 'programming'. If you want to talk about indoctrination and programming ... the left wing is all up in it. The trans fad ... Israel is bad and Palestine is good ... feelings are more important than grades ... everyone gets a trophy ... sucky work ethic ... etc etc.

Your interpretation/perspective is how you perceived a simple statement that does not lean either way.

It depends on the issue and whether the science is believed and that swings both extremist ways and perhaps in-between too. We all see it played out here on ATS every day with cherry picking sources. Confirmation bias is what it's called and I pity any child raised in an environment where parents are so closed-minded as to confuse the child when the majority of society is inclusive and accepts diversity.

Depends on the kid too. Some are more resistant and can shake things if and walk their own path. Some hold onto their childhood too hard.

Examples (proven) ?

Any family with multiple kids who grew up in the same environment with different outcomes?

So probably most?

That's no example. It's just an opinion without any proof. 😀

If you choose to put your child in the public education system where their mission is inclusivity, respect and diversity then not only will Christian conservative views confuse the child, but may cause isolation and anxiety because the religious and other ideologies go against the majority views.

Communism isn't the "majority view", it's just the preferred state for the regime, so it gets the larger platform.

We're seeing more and more people opposing your disgusting BS. The majority doesn't want it.

For example a number of christian right wing fundamentalists teach their kids about creation and creationism and they demand these bronze age views taught as facts in schools. Great values and great parenting!

The U.S. public education system isn't a political ideology it's a put the kids first and meet their unmet needs. As for inclusivity, respect for others and diversity it will be their reality, their world going forward.

"a number of christian right wing fundamentalists"

Like how many? and let's see what proof there is of what you would call "damage" 😀

Flat Earth
Creationism
Trump ideology
The Bible...

To name a few things taught in schools or things the right wing christians are teaching their kids.

So you couldn't name anyone who doesn't have some wrong beliefs. Well done, at least you didn't try to BS us.

I am an atheist, but my family are all Christian on both sides with a few exceptions, including me. I haven't seen this isolation and anxiety you're talking about in any of them. They have worked hard, made a good life for themselves, and treat people with respect, including me and my liberal gay cousin. We will both be at the Christmas gathering this year, and we will enjoy it. I haven't seen anyone burned at the stake in the back yard for at least 20+ years.

Oddly enough, for all of of the democrats preaching and religious indoctrination, it is the left that seems to have much more of a problem with tolerance, acceptance, and respect of opinions and lifestyles different from their own than the right does, which is proven every day in the televised and written media.

You folks literally hate anyone who thinks differently than you do, or calls you out on your hypocrisy.
