  1. 1. The Collapse Of Parenting

    How We Hurt Our Kids When We Treat Them Like Grown-Ups

    Modern parenting has eroded as many caregivers have retreated from exercising firm authority and setting boundaries, producing children who are less disciplined, less resilient, and more dependent on peers and screens; the book argues that reclaiming clear rules, consistent consequences, limits on technology and bedtimes, and a return to parental leadership—balanced with warmth—will restore children’s self-control, social competence, and emotional health, and presents research and practical strategies for parents to reestablish structure, teach responsibility, and protect kids from the developmental harms of permissiveness and adult withdrawal.
