[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents are not interested in doing the hard work of parenting anymore. They give in to their kids on everything (see the threads where parents are buying $150 pajamas for their 12 yo, can’t seem to say “no” when their kids want expensive things, allow their kids unlimited screen time and social media).

It makes things harder for teachers and everyone else, not to mention their own kids when they grow up without any boundaries or budgets.[/quote]

This times one million. Nearly every conference I have with parents boils down to a lack of effective parenting. Parents regularly tell me, “Larlo doesn’t want/like to ________.” Go to bed, brush his teeth, stop playing on his tablet/phone, eat breakfast, get dressed, etc. Sometimes they say they don’t like when their kid is mad at them so they let them do what they want. They come into school without hearing the word no and it’s like WW3 when they do hear it. It’s like having a 2 yr old in kindergarten because we are the first people to set limits. [/quote]
