Confident Parenting in Turbulent Times
We may now have the most child-sensitive generation of parents the world has ever known – and the most confused and insecure.
Children raised with insecure parents try to build a personal world where parents are less important. They grow up too soon, become preoccupied with consumer goods and peer acceptance, and focus their lives on frenetic activity outside the home. They know that their parents love them deeply and want to communicate sensitively with them. but they also know that their parents are unsure about what to require of them and hos to say “no” to them. These children become the center of their own insecure universe.
