The present generation has lost self respect and respect to elders.Our parents ere to frightened of their parents and very respectful, all the important decisions in their life was taken after consulting elders;whereas now ,its different children behave oddly and act as elders by the age of 7 or 8.
Children should have their own views,but they should be mature enough in proving themselves!!!!

The times have certainly had an impact on it. Yet, some of it I believe is due to the fact that control has been stripped from both parents and schools which made a difference.
Don't get me wrong. I do not believe in child abuse in any form. Yet when I was growing up a mere threat from my parents in regards to a spanking, or no dinner before bed was enough to keep me in line.
These days Social Services drill in our children's head "Your parents can't do that."
So now when you try to keep your child in line they constantly tell you "your not allowed to do that." My son has even gone as far as trying to tell me taking his devices away s punishment and stripping him of extras and treats is child abuse.
I simply inform him that I know the rules, as long as I provide food, shelter and clothing I am not obligated to spend hundreds of dollars on devices, like xbox. There for I have every right to take it and do with it what I wish.
I see via facebook and youtube other parents doing similar punish techniques some to extremes.
Yet its because its all that works and all we can do these days... and even so its only the bare minimum because they continue to misbehave and they continue to disrespect

@bestmom What makes it even worse is that they focus more on influencing children from good homes into not listening to their parents. While spending less time helping kids get out of bad situations or screening homes better that children are being placed into.

Children are behaving in worse manner that is in part due to today's narcissistic Facebook society teaching kids bad habits and traits early but the primary fault is a generation of bad parenting.

i doubt that our children are really any worse thand those back in 1100 when some parent claimed children were the worst behaved in many years. Good kids come from god parents who love them and respect them and teach them how to behave and to respect others.

Its not the children per se. Kids are impressionable. So, they learn what they see. If they are raised right in a good and healthy environment emotionally, intellectually, mentally and physically then they would turn out to be a good ones.
