I decided to write this book because I was dissatisfied with parenting-advice literature, oversimplified and at odds with current scientific knowledge. Furthermore, frequent requests by frustrated parents convinced me that parents needed a consistent way of thinking to guide them in making worthy decisions. Contemporary parentings exceedingly difficult. Parents engaged in workforce often lament the lack of practical advice on their roles. pressured and preoccupied parents have added to the grave concern for the well-being of youth.
The fact that, at the moment, the younger generation is achieving less only manifests a deep rooted social problem affecting even the youth having the best of life's privileges. Deprivation of childhood, growing up too fast, or a sense of materialism in young people abound in the media. There is a growing sense of 'youth alienation' But agreement on what parents can and should do remains in a flux. While the goal of character and moral development has stood firm, the approach to accomplishing this has varied widely.
Some authors advise a 'parent - power' stance requiring to train and instruct as early as possible to 'maximise brain growth'. Others, the 'child-power advocates, however, attribute many of today's social problems to the excessive pressure put on children by parents. Children, for them, have built-in timetables for maturing and learning. The reality is that there are no hard and fast rules. The current predominant trend on child-rearing literature denies parents of any notable contribution to their children's development. This revelation of parental weakness comes at a time when many busy parents are poised to retreat from family obligations`, and, indeed, it grants them license to do so.
