[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 404268, member: 6546"] I also think that a large component of the problem is today's child-centered society... Not too long ago, you as a child, were NOT the center of your parent's world. Even stay-at-home Mom's had a life besides their children. Children knew their place or by golly were soon put into it! Now granted, not every family was "Leave it to Beaver"...and I'm not trying to pretend that there were some glorious "good ol' days"... But I AM saying that a child's self-esteem was NOT the end-all, be-all that it has become today. So we ARE seeing difficult children in epic proportions because parents and teachers are so hesitant to correct a problem lest it harm a child's precious self-esteem. So no wonder that therapists are quick to assume that number one, this cannot be the fault of the CHILD - who left unfettered will naturally develop into a "perfect" human being...and number two - it must be parents that are mistaken in their parenting approach because children, in their perfect state, cannot have these types of problems unless they are being raised in an utterly inappropriate way.
