The Collapse of Parenting

Parenting dynamics have significantly shifted, leading to what Dr. Sachs calls the 'Collapse of Parenting.' This concept emphasizes the erosion of traditional parenting roles, where parents prioritize friendship over authority. He illustrates this by sharing stories about parents who aim to be liked by their children at the expense of enforcing necessary boundaries. The shift results in children not respecting their parents, leading to behavioral issues and poor decision-making, as there's a distinct lack of authoritative guidance.
