[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think being serious about religion requires a lot of self- discipline.  So it could be that religious parents have self-discipline and their children are more likely to be self-disciplined as well.
The other aspect is that these families have a strong culture and exist a little bit outside of mainstream American culture.  So while I am sure they are influenced by parenting trends in pop culture, they likely also receive a lot of community support for parenting more or less like their parents did.[/quote]

If all the women have 8 kids - what kind of support would be available? Oh, I'll watch 16 kids while you get your hair done? [/quote]

The orthodox Jewish moms probably aren’t getting their hair done, but for the dentist or something, by the time you have eight kids the oldest ones are able to watch the younger ones for a bit or at least be left alone. “Hey Chaya can you keep my baby and toddler while I get a filling” is not a heavy lift.
