Kids are sad and unfulfilled these days and it shows up in beahavior issues. You can discipline all you want but if you are unloading your kids into daycare 40-50 hours a week since birth its a recipe for an unhappy child. Mix in too much tech, poor diet, uneven rules...there you go. Quality family time is low on the priority list. As a PP said its "hot button", but mom needs to say home in the early years or at least keep it part time. I'll never regret the sacrifices we made for me to stay home. I know there are special circumstances, single moms, etc. but there are some families who just want things and "me time" at the cost of their kids development.
