[quote=Anonymous] It's a reflection of increased anxiety among parents. There is so much pressure to make the "right choice" at every stage. The intensity of competition in childhood, the fear of failure, all contribute to an increasingly anxious climate for children. We look at Mad Men and laugh at (or are saddened by) the type of parenting we see. Up until very recently, our job was only to make sure our children didn't die on our watch. Easy breazy. Now, I'm required to be a psychologist, nutritionist, education specialist...etc., etc., ad nauseum! Look at the threads here. They are filled with anxious parenting---from Expectant Moms through College. We put so much more pressure on ourselves. It's not a surprise that you're witnessing more manifest anxiety in our young ones. [/quote]
