[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 85365, member: 3527"] I guess being only 23, that a good majority of you all HAVE difficult child's my age....so I really cannot say much for that time period, only the dreaded "when I was your age" stories I have heard from my parents, but it seems to me that kids back then just DID NOT HAVE THE OPTION of behaving that way, for fear of suffering their parents' wrath. Don't get me wrong, after the experiences I have had with our 13 year old difficult child, I am NOT one of those that will try to tell you that all the kid needs is a good kick in the A@#, but I can say, that, nowdays, it is nearly impossible to assert yourself as a parent. It seems that we are all expected to raise our children passive-agressively. Methods that used to be used on a daily basis are now considered "abusive" or just "insane". But at the same time, there are a lot more resources available presently to handle children with these types of disorders, but it is still all so new. Think about this, most of us on here KNOW what the "bipolar children" thing is all about, but someone who doesn't deal with this on a regular basis, this is STILL SO NEW, and NOT very widely ACCEPTED idea. It is still being developed and maybe another 15 or 20 years from now, the mental health powers that be will have this all straightened out, but by then, there will be even MORE new diagnosis's and even LESS freedom to discipline children, and the cycle will continue. Eventually, robots will be raising children for us, and will have a pre-scripted retaliation for EVERY situation, and how many of you think that our robots will be OVER WORKED and PROGRAMMING JAMMED by the end of the first week?!?!?!?!
