If one will not be correctly controlled from within, then they must be controlled from without. Resulting in the state getting involved.

Yeah, immature individuals, not just chronologically young, get the idea that nothing can stop them. Until something does. Then they bring in Child Services or the Law against the parent. And WIN!

Dr. Spock has no tool with which his followers can deal with obsessive oppositional defiance (click here).

Whole books are written describing and diagnosing this disorder, but when deeply rooted, there does not seem to be a cure other than amputating the person's twisted soul from his/her physical body--a sort of deadly mental infection of the soul akin to the methecillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection of the body.

What Are the Symptoms of Oppositional Defiant Disorder?

Throwing repeated temper tantrums

• Excessively arguing with adults, especially those with authority
• Actively refusing to comply with requests and rules
• Deliberately trying to annoy or upset others, or being easily annoyed by others
• Blaming others for your mistakes
• Having frequent outbursts of anger and resentment
• Being spiteful and seeking revenge
• Swearing or using obscene language
• Saying mean and hateful things when upset

Why that pretty much sounds like certain adult liberal figures. l

She has an AA degree in Early Childhood Education so she is qualified to do so!

If they are 'her' kids; then she is 'qualified' to do so.

No borders, no leverage, smacking is a dreadful crime, the “labour therapy” is prohibited, and naughty corners are out of use.

I'm mid-60's and remember having to sit in the corner as punishment. It obviously worked! We were also expected to do our chores and there was a cost for infractions. To this day, I make my bed every day, clean weekly, abhor clutter and messiness and turned out to be a pretty good cook.

When I taught in a Christian school, the other teachers would ask me all the time how I was able to get my students so well-behaved. It was simple...I gave them the rules as well as the consequences for breaking the rules from day one. The new kids, of course, challenged me but after a few weeks they understood that I would not let anyone get away with it. Perhaps that is what's missing with today's children. Parents who don't consistently enforce their own rules quickly teach them that they can get away with anything if they persist and outlast them. Parents who don't take the time to teach obedience to their authority end up raising children who won't respect ANY authority as adults. ANTIFA is most likely made up of such people!

That proved true for my cub’s father-he never fathered another child despite multiple failed marriages-he was a self-absorbed, downright mean, vicious and uncaring individual all his life-not well liked or successful-he died of morbid obesity-over 500 lbs-at the age of 68-God took care of that...

The point of the author is that American parents just can't afford to practice the traditional discipline methods because they risk loosing the custody of their children and/or a criminal prosecution. That's something an average Russian believe about the US (and the Western European)situation, and the Russian government exploits this too.

The author isn't anti-American at all, since she's written enough on the things which she thinks are better in the US, though they are not necessarily about upbringing children.
