Tolerance and passivity define today’s
approach to parenting. Restraint and correction are deemed too confining for
the child’s psyche. Self-esteem has superseded self-control. Parents are afraid
to correct wrong behavior. They are urged by experts to let their children
express themselves freely. Too many parents are utterly absent from their own
children’s sphere of moral influence. The child’s nature is simply permitted to
take its course, and by the time the parent realizes the utter depravity of the
child’s heart, things are already on a course for calamity.
