In my experience, this couldn’t be farther from the truth.īy the way, while it can’t be denied that some parents out there are abusive or neglectful, I’m focusing on the “good enough” parents in this article. The attitude of many professionals today is also that parents are the reason children behave inappropriately-and that the parents aren’t committed to helping their kids change. They’re out there trying their best and looking for answers, but they’re being told that their child’s behavior is their entire fault. I think when parents are labeled this way, it becomes extremely discouraging for them. J: Parents of acting-out kids are often perceived as being the problem-or that they’ve created their “problem child”. Can you explain what you mean by that a bit more? Q: James, in a recent article in EP, you said “I don’t think parents are the problem-I think they’re the solution.” That really resonated with a lot of our readers.
