What I remember is that in the '90s 'experts' encouraged participation medal parenting: positive reinforcement- no negative consequence, all praise child rearing. So most parents jumped into this bandwagon.After a decade, we are screwed as same experts say this approach produces self- entitled, mediocre kind of brats. However, there are studies too as well that shows decrease in teen pregnancy and abuse of drugs/ alcohol with the younger generation. I do not know who to believe anymore.

I think that it's a mix of both. The whole don't discipline your kids studies actually started back in the 60s even though we stereotype it with the newer generations. Birth rates with newer generations are decreasing drastically in all age groups because we're spending 200% more on education than any generation before us and therefore we're in more debt and having a harder time getting jobs with our degrees.

Bottom line: there are no experts. I’m a baby boomer parent and have watched “expert” opinions rocket back and forth for many years. Dr Spock was the be-all, end-all of my generation, but I always thought he was nuts.

The problem with that is it does not prepare the children for life. So when they finish high school and start looking for a university or a job and get turned down they don't know how to deal with rejection/ failure and just throw temper tantrums.
