Why do you think some people find "socks and sandals" to be considered "poor parenting skills"?
I'm a journalist working on an article about this topic.

Well, there are really 3 reasons...
1. It's not fashionable, so you are teaching your kids to be fashion-free. That may be trendy, but it's not good parenting for the long-term.
2. It leads to dirty socks and that's never good... for anyone. That's just bad parenting.
3. It sets "the child" up as an outsider right from the get-go. And, while that could be an asset, without the proper ongoing guidance and support, it's just poor parenting from people who are living in the moment.
So, you see. It really is respresentative of "poor parenting skills."
