There were talks about Alice's tit parenting in the last thread (that moved so fast).
I saw a psychologist on the evening program yesterday, saying there is a worriing increase of behavioural issues and personality disorders in children, and that one of the reasons for it is possibly modern parenting.
No boundries, no trial & error, no failure allowed, no delayed gratification, no proper (really bad) consequences for their actions, no proper exclusion from groups... All of this is leaving children self-absorbed and unready to hear a NO. Even schools are too blame, and most normal parents should be a tad stricter. Alice is a whole new level, she's proud of screwing the girls up.
