Thanks so much for the compliment not only to me but to my parents as well.
I don't believe the post meant that for everyone. I think he or she was referring to the large percentage of parents who are having difficulty disciplining their kids, as the article points out. Many of the parents of the 40s through 60s used the permissive Dr. Spock book, and in the 60s & 70s it was even worse, with a book called "Summerhill" that not only recommended no discipline, but also to allow children to roam freely with no formal instruction, just believing they would learn enough by "exploring" whatever they wanted to. It's hard to believe this lunacy, but you have only to look around you in the grocery store or a restaurant to see the results.
