[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents are delusional, or normalize or excuse the behavior and/or are simply ignoring - hoping kid will grow out of it.

Or they medicate the heck out of the kid and consider that the sole solution but they’ve essentially checked out at that point. .

This really doesn’t make sense. Parenting used to be far more hands off. [b]Kids just went outside and played. That’s what kids do in hunter gatherer cultures that are still around. [/b]

We’re parenting all the time and it wears us all out. Being stricter is better as it makes kids better to be around. [/quote]

And the behavior is regulated by their peers.  You scream, claw and hit?  You are going to get as good as you give, and you might get ostracized and have to earn your right back into the group.   The peers aren’t gentle and don’t give a damn about your “big feelings”, so you learn real quick.[/quote]

Yup and maybe that’s more effective for kids with tougher temperaments than parental intervention that doesn’t involve using fear of violence.

There’s so much about parenting today that fuels this massive increase in dysregulated kids. Nothing wrong with presumption of good intent.

And stricter standards are a start.
