Summary: The Collapse of Parenting: How We Hurt Our Kids When We Treat Them Like Grown Ups by Leonard Sax | with BONUS Critics Corner
The Collapse of How We Hurt Our Kids When We Treat Them Like Grown Ups by Leonard Sax | NOT ORIGINAL BOOK, includes our BONUS Critics Corner
The atmosphere of parenting has changed dramatically in the past three decades mainly due to an idea Sax calls a “transfer of authority” from parents to children. Children have become more concerned with the opinions of their same-age peers rather than those of their parents. Some challenges are unique to America, they “the culture of disrespect/the culture of the ‘Live for Now’”, The heavy use of ‘powerful psychiatric’ drugs being used on our children, and the overscheduling of our parents that make it hard for parents to do their jobs in raising their children.
In The Collapse of Parenting , Sax shows how certain factors of this damaging concept have led the kids and teenagers of today down a road that has left them less resilient, more likely to become depressed or anxious and less physically fit. More importantly he poses solutions to these problematic challenges of parenting.

This book puts down in black and white the "me" generation of parenting. Let's just say that when you have a child, you need to prioritize your wants and understand the new role that becomes your life. This book examines the why for so many things.
