Do you ever wonder where those social, disciplinary and behavioral problems COME FROM?
"Don’t most parents have a tough enough job teaching their children social, disciplinary and behavioral skills?"
That is mostly thanks to a kid/parent-hostile cultural environment and undisciplined children in schools. We have tend to these 'problems' because the kids get attitude adjustment problems from the bad kids they interact with. It goes like this in our house, now that we've observed some slippage in behavioral maturity since the kids went to public schools: Kid talks back, then wife says "we never should have pulled them out of private school and sent them to public school".
"Do you ever wonder where those social, disciplinary and behavioral problems COME FROM?"
I don't. Kids are great imitators, and behavioral problems are like a virus that occurs when kids infect other kids with bad social models.
Think of the discipline effort *saved* when you keep kids away from bad behavioral models. All that time saved can be spent focussing on more positive things.
