• In this episode, John compares today's parenting to the raising of kids in the 50s and 60s. Today's parenting, he says, is driven by the profession of psychology, which has caused more problems than it has solved. As a result, parents feel as if they need to be highly involved in their childrens' lives and believe that a high level of involvement equals good parenting. By contrast, parents in the 50s and 60s approached childrearing in a much more relaxed and non-scientific way.  Therefore, the raising of children was much less complicated.

Books mentioned in this broadcast: "Parenting by The Book."
