Parenting

Its seems that most parents are now beginning to "baby" their kids more than they used to. With more and more scientific studies coming out and changing the way adults parent their kids. The upcoming parents have grown up in a technological world. With most jobs needing a good education now, instead of being able to go work at a steel mill like people used to, the job market is extremely competitive. Because parents know this, some of them have the urge to control almost every part of their kids' lives in order to give their kids an advantage. These parents have strict rules and are incredibly involved in their kids' lives. In my opinion, the kids could have three different outcomes. The first is the perfect result, a kid that respected his parents rules but didn't always follow them and they learn life-lessons. That kid will probably grow up to be successful. The second child is a kid that follows their parents rules to a point but never learns any life lessons and thus becoming a mama's boy, a kid that becomes to reliant on his/her mother or father. The third kid is someone who gets so annoyed with their parents that they rebel against them at every single chance he/she gets. Even though I believe that more parents are taking on this new parenting strategy, there are still parents that have a different parenting methods. Usually those adults take after their own parents. If their parents were tough, they are most likely to be tough. But no one wants to be like their parents so those people won't be as tough. But there is no perfect way to parent, but every parent tries their own blend of order and freedom. There are parents who let their kids have all the freedom they want. Whether a parent uses order or freedom, their is no guarantee of how their kids grow up. I know great kids whose parents give them a lot of freedom and I know great kids whose parents don't give them any freedom. Unfortunately there is no way to make sure your kid will be great, but as long as you support them, they can't be a disaster.
