[quote=Anonymous]While I think it’s true that people have always complained about other people’s children, modern parenting culture is problematic. I’m all for not hitting children or screaming at them. But we haven’t taught parents what to do instead. Strong willed children require very active parenting to deal with. All we say to parents of those kids is not to hit them. We’re not giving them effective tools to shape the behavior of the non compliant child. My kids are widely spaced and I definitely fell short in setting effective limits with my first. He has some mild special needs that make things harder, but I’m a lot better at shaping his behavior now. And I’m doing a much better job with my toddler this time around. But yeah in a culture where both parents have to work to survive and there’s no parenting advice beyond avoiding corporal punishment? It’s not surprising that more kids are acting out. [/quote]
