Lost in all the arguments is parental responsibility. Every kid is different. My sister and I turned out fine, while my brother, on the other hand, has a reckless attitude. We all need different nurturing. In many cases, all kids need is some attention at home.
Values start at the dinner table.
It is not surprising our kids turn psychotic when a black, 21-inch box plays mom and dad. We choose to scapegoat an electronic baby-sitter rather than blame ourselves. The highest form of cowardice is blaming someone else. From day one, we tell kids it is important to be economically successful, but we forget the importance of ethics and morality. This, too, pushes kids to lash out.
