    We aren’t talking about rasing a kid in a literal village within a Neoliberal society. “It takes a village” is an idiom about how the entire community should help to properly raise a child.

    The saying emphasizes that a child’s upbringing is a communal effort involving many different people and groups, from parents to teachers to neighbors and grandparents.

    The whole idea underscores the belief that the collective involvement of a community is essential in achieving a certain goal or completing a task, like raising a kid.

    Essentially, it’s a friendly reminder that asking for help with hard things is okay because many hands make light work.
