Series: SIRS Enduring Issues 2005Article 7Family. Publisher: San Jose Mercury News, 2004ISSN: 1522-3213;.Subject(s): Child psychology | Child rearing | Discipline of children | Parent and child | Parenting -- Study and teachingDDC classification: 050 Summary: "You've seen them. Terrorist toddlers screaming at the supermarket. Kamikaze kindergartners with anger issues on the playground. Surly adolescents with no respect for anyone over 18. And you've wondered: Have kids always been this way and I'm just getting crankier? Or are today's parents spineless saps producing an inordinate number of brats? Talk to parenting experts, school principals and teachers and you'll get an earful. Most think children behave more poorly than they did in the past--some even call it a crisis in discipline--but disagree on why. Theories range from the absenteeism of working parents, to the loosening of morals, to the violence and flippancy seen on TV shows." (SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS) This article acknowledges that while "many parents have abandoned the top-down, authoritarian style of past eras," they have yet to find a "way to discipline their children that always seems right." Advice by child-rearing experts is also presented.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
