I speak on this note for the teaching in general that we have for our children. We were all raised a little similar and a little different, but what do you do when another person tellings you that you are teaching your child wrong and you know in your heart you are not?

If you know in your heart that what you are doing is right, then you continue on that journey. Our journey may not be right for someone else and so they see it as something we are doing wrong. Keep with what your heart is telling you and let no one steer you away from it.

As long as you know you are doing what your heart tells you is right, then I suggest you sincerely thank them and send loving energy their way, and then go on your way. Chances are they are only concerned. Your child chose you to be their parent in this lifetime for a reason. Many others will probably never really understand why you do as you do, but like already stated, as long as you and your heart know it is right for your child, then by all means.....
I know that is what I always did and do when others tell me things such as this.

Essence that is fully what I attempt for each time something like this stirs up, sometimes its just nice to hear that I am not going about it wrong when so many others out there have negative feelings if its not their way its wrong.
Parenting is somewhat like politics and religion - ask any 10 people and you're likely to get 10 different responses. Only you can know if what you are doing is right but you need to learn to trust yourself.
I completely agree with the general sentiment here. I have had many instances people have openly criticized my parenting to my face. When this happens, I thank them for their concern for my child's well-being. If it is family or close friends, I explain our choices, but I will not argue for it is not a matter up for debate. In the end, I remind people that my utmost desire as a parent is to raise a happy, well-rounded person, and that I am doing this in the way I see most fit for our family.
As Essence says, you thank them and continue you on your way. There is no need to argue, no need to turn away their advice. I might perhaps look at what they say and see if perhaps I was wrong, but once assure that I was not, I would shrug it off.
