Please read this article (Links to an external site.) and explore how modern parenting may be unintentionally contributing to the development of mental health and neurological disorders among children. Consider:
Childhood abuse (verbal, physical, sexual) is a major risk factor for the development of certain personality disorders (i.e. borderline, antisocial). As a result of our knowledge of the harm that is caused by abuse, modern parents often go to great lengths to protect their children from harm, in contrast with years ago when children were far less closely supervised. After reading the article, what negative repercussions do you think might result from such close supervision of children? Do you think avoiding the possibility of abuse (through round-the-clock supervision) is worth the potential negative repercussions of highly supervising children? Might there be other ways to reduce the possibility of exposure to abuse?
