Over the decades, parenting has changed - many improvements have been introduced in the field of child rearing, and the most noticeable change is the shift from restrictive to permissive parenting.
If you ask your grandmothers, parents or older siblings about their childhood, they will probably tell you hours explained about the adventures of the children of the "past", which are spent the days on the playground with friends. They didn't have much, but they were happy.
Today's kids survive more time indoors. They look for fun in technologies. Most of the time they are under under parental control or siblings. And if they go outside, worried parents call them every hour.
Even if such actions seem to defy logic, all the changes in the field of modern parenting happened because of good intentions – parents want protect your children before DANGEROUS TO THE WORLD and enable them to achieve success.
And this is also proven by the results of many researches, which confirm that they are modern children are in a much better position than generations of the past. Far fewer children are expected to die of starvation. The death rate is said to be decreasing. Children should receive more attention and have more rights. But they are less happy than the happy children of the past.
In a survey conducted by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), 15-year-olds rated their happiness by 7,3. And such results are not surprising - modern parents intend huge sums of money and time into a child's development to ensure that they achieve all that they are they achieved or became even better. And the child is under constant pressure because he is haunted by the greatest evil called EXPECTATION.
Even if parents try to provide everything for the child, this is not a guarantee of success - not in the career field not in the field personality development. Even permissive education, even if it is child-friendly, has its drawbacks weaknesses, which does many people are not aware of them.
