From letting kids pick what they eat, to when they go to bed, there are decisions parents shouldn't abdicate. There are outcomes that being a parent - not your child's friend - ensures. These are just a few of the arguments Dr Leonard Sax offers in his latest book "The Collapse of Parenting: How We Hurt Our Kids When We Treat Them Like Grown-Ups."
Dr. Sax's critique on a society that enjoys portraying parents like bumbling idiots, and overzealous parents who may want to empower kids too soon, leads to a culture of disrespect that ultimately hurts kids later on.
