On the latest episode of aParently  Speaking, host Miriam Conner is joined by Leonard Sax, MD,PhD to discuss his book The Collapse of Parenting.

Sax discusses a major shift that has occurred in American culture: the transfer of authority from parents to children and how these factors and related influences have led to children and teenagers being less resilient, less physically fit, and more likely to become anxious or depressed – and far more fragile – compared with kids from the same demographic 30 years ago.

aParently Speaking is presented by Northeast Ohio Parent and sponsored by Mazda of Kent.
