Family Conflict

Every parent will have to discipline a child at some stage. No matter how well behaved they are, they all have a moment when behavior lapses and falls below what is expected. In years gone by, it was the custom to use physical force to chastise children, but this has been shown to be ineffective and now parents look for other ways to deal with problems.

Why don't our kids do what we want them to do? Parents often take the blame for misbehavior, but this obscures a broader trend: in our modern, highly connected age, children have less self-control than ever. About half of the current generation of children will develop a mood or behavioral disorder or a substance addiction by age 18. Contemporary kids need to learn independence and responsibility, yet our old ideas of punishments and rewards are preventing this from happening.

With few exceptions, parenting books, websites, and podcasts emphasize the critical role of the parent in shaping a child’s destiny.

We live in a fearful, anxiety-driven age where the problems and challenges of the world assault us from every direction and every media source, and they far exceed our abilities to respond to them. The sense of desperation that often comes of this leads to discord and violence: from bitter, cutting remarks to the atrocities of war; from pervasive racism to knee-jerk micro-aggressions. It contributes to our current, peace-bankrupt social discourse, leading to patterns of dismissing, dividing from, condemning, or hating people.

Seven in ten parents say children’s post-pandemic social skills have declined! But there are things you can do as a parent to empower your child with absolute and effortless confidence!
