By Rich Simon It seems astonishing that even just two or three decades ago, parents not only pretty much knew what was expected of them to turn their offspring into civilized adults, but they could actually count on society to back them up. Even more astounding, kids seemed to understand this, too. Even if they rebelled against, yelled about, or sullenly resented how “unfair” adults were, they seemed to acknowledge adult authority and realize that they would just have to wait until they turned 18 to get for themselves the keys to the kingdom of grown-up independence.

I would only add that the Hyde School in Bath, ME operates its entire program around authentic parental values (principles) as the core of reclaiming or creating effective parental authority. I would recommend any books by Joe Gault as reflecting a schools take on what Dr.. Taffel described so well in his own experience. Well worth the time, Guys. Thank you so much.

overwhelmed/intimidated parents.
I felt I had to contact you re: an experience of synchronicity this morning. I was dial hopping on the radio to find music to accompany my exercise. I stumbled upon "Young and Wild and Free" and the relevance to your talk was remarkable. Basically glorifying and normalizing getting drunk, smoking weed, missing school etc etc. .....

I quickly checked 'synchronicity' on Google and found a quote from Carroll's Alice in Wonderland that among other things spoke of "living backwards" and it struck me that it's a good metaphor for the way that kids seem to be in control of their parents. Yes, the pendulum swung the other way and as usual has gone a bit too far. I grew up in the UK, experiencing some vestigial post-Victorian "discipline" which I found excessive, however I did respect other people (especially those who were reasonable, respectful and compassionate.)
I'd love to collaborate in an ongoing community dialog re: ways of supporting the best in our young people (including those "under-used frontal lobes".) I love the concepts of community of care/community building.
I look forward to reading more....
Thanks again,
Mary (CA Therapist)
