Cross-cultural research interests to me. Miller wrote that American parents

Cross-cultural research interests to me. Miller wrote that American parents want their children to sleep on their own beds as soon as possible. It is important for babies learn to sleeping through night by herself. She said that Mayan mothers express the pity on American babies because she has to sleep alone. Japanese parents believe babies should sleeps with their parent too. Cultures who want children to developing independence wants children to sleep alone. Cultures who value interdependence likes babies to sleep with the parent. When mother nurse her baby, it is good for baby to sleep her mother. If baby wake up the night, mother can hold and nurse baby back sleep. Mother can fall asleep with baby too. Then mother is not so tired a next day. Learning about how cultures around world live fascinate to me.

I have interest in Cross-cultural research. Miller writes that American parents want their children to sleep on their own beds, as early as possible. It is important for the babies to learn sleeping through night by themselves. She says that Mayan mothers express pity on American babies, because they have to sleep alone. Japanese parents believe that babies should sleep with their parents. Cultures which want children to develop independently, want their children to sleep alone. Cultures which value interdependence, like babies to sleep with their parents. When mother nurses her baby, it is good for the baby to sleep with her mother. If baby wakes up at night, mother can hold and nurse the baby back to sleep. Mother too, can fall asleep with the baby. Then mother is not so tired the next day. Learning about how cultures live around the world fascinates me.
