Can a book undo all the damage of 13 and more years in the system that causes these disorders?<BR/><BR/>No, I think the parents have to first remove the children from the situation (usually schools, because the kids spend so much more time with their friends than with their parents, so nobody should wonder that their friends would be more important). Of course, there are schools that tend this way and schools that don't, and parents should be able to watch their children to see if these effects are happening, but so many parents are too wrapped up in their careers to even notice. And it's not even necessarily that they're not loving parents, but that the entire structure is gone for parents to be able to be there for their children to see how they're growing up.

But books on how teenagers [or children for that matter] should act towards their parents are few are far between. I would even say that the latter trend is an antiquated one, and not for the better.L Fabjanskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967420858744604631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13805148.post-68735737625293206542008-08-27T04:18:00.000-05:002008-08-27T04:18:00.000-05:00It's interesting that parents leave the home to be...It's interesting that parents leave the home to better their households, all the while damaging the real _matter_ of that household, the family relationships. <BR/><BR/>I really struggle from time to time about my decision to stay home instead of working, but it's reading things like this that are reassuring.Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300487655437881117noreply@blogger.com
