From school decisions to vacation plans, she pays attention to everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this turns out to be a source of pressure for her children. The reason is that she limits her children&#8217;s space to develop on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tidak-mudah-memberi-kepercayaan-pada-anak\">It&#8217;s Not Easy to Trust Children<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>In the scene where Piper asks permission to continue her studies in Thailand, her mother immediately refuses. Meanwhile, Timothy Ratliff (Jason Isaacs) rushes off as if he doesn&#8217;t want to get involved in his daughter&#8217;s affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it seems normal, most children will feel a loss of identity as a result. This also happened to Piper, who felt increasingly distant from her family.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"inkonsisten-dalam-menentukan-batas\">Inconsistency in Setting Limits<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Despite restricting her daughter&#8217;s freedom, Victoria gave her two sons permission to go on vacation on a cruise ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, she knew that the place might not be safe for them. As a result, this inconsistency caused confusion and an unhealthy family relationship.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"peran-ayah-yang-hampir-hilang\">The Almost Lost Role of Fathers<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Behind the mother who tries to play a full role, Timothy, as the father, is indifferent to his family. Especially after being involved in a business scandal that forces him to constantly look for ways to escape legal consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, the emotional burden of the family is borne solely by the mother, without any healthy division of roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This aligns with the meaning of the white lotus philosophy, which appears to be fine on the surface but hides flaws beneath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film also shows several other consequences of this parenting style. For example, there are indications of a forbidden relationship between Saxon and Lachlon, while Piper feels she must distance herself from her dysfunctional family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>Read Also : <a href=\"https:\/\/vivalakidsworld.com\/parents\/dampak-buruk-anak-kecanduan-gadget\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/vivalakidsworld.com\/parents\/nilai-parenting-dari-film-adolescence\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/vivalakidsworld.com\/parents\/nilai-parenting-dari-film-adolescence\/\">Adolescence: Not Just a Movie but a \u2018Hard Slap\u2019 for Parents in the Digital Age<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially, there is no specific guide to being a good parent. However, all parents can think critically after seeing the effects of the modern parenting phenomenon of the white lotus mom from the character of Victoria Ratliff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to create a healthy family, it is important to balance giving trust and freedom, while still providing guidance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>White Lotus Mom: A New Phenomenon in Modern Parenting &#8211; The term White Lotus Mom became trending since the release of Mike White&#8217;s satirical comedy series on February 16, 2025.
