Why do we never hear about good parenting?

In the news we always hear about bad standards of parenting but we never hear about good parenting?


Why?





I seriously think the bad parents are a small minority (based on my job).Why do we never hear about good parenting?
I agree!


I think we should hear a lot more positive news right across the board! How about stories about non-violent conflict resolution where no one feels dominated or subjugated. Or stories about inexpensive, workable solutions to famine. Or village-based and controlled projects toward economic self-sufficiency.


Occasionally one (or sometimes even a few) of these makes the news, but not often enough in my opinion!


Stories about good parenting could give others role models and ideas which they could use.


Unfortunately, too many people want sensationalism or celebrity gossip. It's a case of supply and demand.Why do we never hear about good parenting?
Good parenting is expected. I agree that we should be able to hear about it, but, what would you hear? And how would you discover who is doing good parenting. The only reason the news agencies know of bad parenting is due to the police or to hospitals. Your idea is a noble one and I agree. There just is no way to find out, legitimately, who is being a good parent.
Thankfully good parenting is the norm. Most parents wants whats best for their children...its normal %26amp; natural...so it doesn't make sensational news.





But you're right...there are cases, outstanding cases, where parents have literally given their lives for their children...these should be applauded %26amp; made well known. Most such people, however, are humble %26amp; wouldn't want their families to be dragged into the public eye...which of course is good parenting!
I have to agree with the others, nobody wants to hear about good strong families, just the scum of our society. Good kids are passed over for gutter snipes as they make good headlines in the press.
Who wants to read, ';Good parent saves child.';? No one does. We want to hear ';Bad parent too busy reading to save child.'; It's a bigger emotional effect.
i agree


loads of parents give their children unconditional love and support , most people do love their children and would die for them








a small minority make me sick
Good parenting doesn't sell newspapers.
What's interesting about good parenting? It would never sell papers.
