What does 'It takes a village' mean? |
[Edit] |
[Edit] 
It means that a child is influenced by her environment. If the neighborhood she lives in has a bunch of drug users, then she will be more likely to be a druggie. Parents and siblings aren't the only people in her life, so they're automatically not the only ones who have influence on her.
It's common sense, really. Unless you keep your kid in a cage, then they are going to interact with other people. They're going to be exposed to the media.
It literally takes a village to raise a child.
