I Am Sick Of Parents Who Don't Parent
[/center]“If anyone can be called the boss in modern, anti-hierarchical parenthood, it’s the children.” [b]~ Leonard Stern, M.D.[/b] , in [i]“The Collapse of Parenting: How We Hurt Our Kids When We Treat Them Like Grown-Ups”[/i] [c=#BF0000]http://amzn.to/2wE9ogW[/c]
“Parents who are authoritative have better outcomes, and it’s a larger effect than the effect of race, ethnicity, household income or IQ.”[b] ~ Ibid.[/b]
“In Western society, where equality for everyone has become a cultural objective and a constitutional right, children are treated like they are one more minority group to honor and empower. Empower has come to seem virtuous......Empower everyone, why not?” [b]~ Ibid[/b]
“But many kids are actually overpowering their parents. That’s the problem, say those working in child development. A functional family unit hinges on the one social construct that contemporary society has been working hard to dismantle: hierarchy. You need a strong alpha presentation to inspire a child to trust you and depend upon you.” [b]~ child psychologist Gordon Neufeld[/b], quoted by pediatrician [b]Leonard Stern[/b], in [i]“The Collapse of Parenting,”[/i][b] Ibid.[/b] [center]
