How We Can Help The Changing Family Families in our society are undergoing an upheaval. No longer does the traditional picture of a father, mother, 2.3 children and a dog dominate the family scene. At the same time, society does not seem to support parents in their efforts to set limits with their kids. No other success can compensate for failure in the home.
Parents are Concerned Parents are worried about how they can protect their kids.
They want to be good parents and provide the kind of parenting that reduces the chances of their child becoming another statistic. Often, however, they end up feeling helpless, as they see their family spiraling downwards. Most parents parent their children just like they were parented. The problem is that even if your parents did a great job, too much has changed. Pressures are different on both kids and parents, kids are different and society is different.
