Parents often treat their children like therapy clients who need constant validation and emotional support. For example, where previous generations might have told a misbehaving child to stop and go to their room, today\u2019s parents engage in lengthy discussions about emotions and offer multiple choices for the child to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shift toward this more permissive style of parenting happened as Generation X parents rejected their own upbringing, wanting to avoid the emotional detachment and discipline methods they experienced as kids. However, this gentler parenting style hasn\u2019t produced better outcomes. Shrier argues that despite parents <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-be-more-mindful-and-present\/\">being more present<\/a> in their children\u2019s lives and accommodating more of their needs, young people are more anxious, depressed, and struggling to launch into adulthood. Children naturally need and want parental authority\u2014when parents fail to provide it, kids look for it elsewhere, so they may even distance themselves from their parents and seek authority from extreme political movements or cults.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Gen X earned the nickname <a href=\"https:\/\/daily.jstor.org\/latchkey-generation-bad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201clatchkey kids\u201d<\/a> because they regularly came home to empty houses after school while their parents worked. They received so little supervision that New York\u2019s FOX 5 news aired a nightly reminder asking parents <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gPR9bIl3VZw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cIt\u2019s 10 p.m., do you know where your children are?\u201d<\/a> While Shrier says that Gen X parents have rejected their own upbringing, research suggests the independence they had wasn&#8217;t necessarily harmful. Kids who spent time alone fared just as well socially and emotionally as those with adult supervision. They also had various support systems in place\u2014they could call their parents, visit neighbors, or hang out with friends.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For these reasons, Shrier advocates a return to clearer boundaries, consistent consequences, and the understanding that temporary discomfort from discipline helps children develop into capable adults. She cites studies showing that children raised with firm but loving guidance become more successful and emotionally stable than those raised with permissive parenting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Discipline Children With the Counting System<\/strong><br><br>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/1-2-3-magic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>1-2-3 Magic<\/em><\/a>, Thomas W. Phelan offers specific insights into why modern parents\u2019 tendency to over-explain and over-discuss misbehavior actually backfires. He explains that trying to have detailed conversations with misbehaving children is ineffective because their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/1-2-3-magic#problems-with-common-discipline-methods\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">brains aren\u2019t ready for it<\/a>\u2014children under 12 can\u2019t process explanations about why their behavior is wrong. When parents launch into lengthy discussions about feelings and choices, they often end up frustrating their children and making the situation worse.<br><br>Instead of long talks or emotional reactions, Phelan recommends a simple counting system where parents calmly give children three chances to correct their behavior: When a child misbehaves, the parent calmly says, \u201cThat\u2019s one\u201d and waits five seconds. If the behavior continues they say, \u201cThat\u2019s two,\u201d and if the child still doesn\u2019t stop, they get \u201cThat\u2019s three\u201d and must take a five-minute break. This approach provides clear boundaries while avoiding power struggles or lengthy discussions that young brains aren\u2019t ready to handle. It also offers a middle ground between the harsh discipline of previous generations and today\u2019s overly permissive parenting that Shrier critiques.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s authoritative parenting?
