Parents Under Siege: Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good Parents and What Can We Do About It?

Why do bad things happen to good parents? This presentation seeks to answer that question, and in so doing point the way towards strategies for improving the development of children and adolescents. It presents a toolbox of concepts that parents and professionals can use to understand better the challenges faced by parents raising temperamentally vulnerable children in today’s socially toxic environment. Of course there are abusive and neglectful parents who are “to blame” for putting their children at risk, but most kids in trouble are not the offspring of abusive parents, but rather normal parents, imperfect parents. In this sense, parents are responsible but not to blame for the issues faced by families that lead children and youth astray, particularly when those children and youth are temperamentally predisposed to have trouble coping with the complexities of modern society. Character education, sensitive listening, matching parenting style to child temperament, social activism to reduce the cultural and social poisons facing families, and spiritual development are all vital to being a positive force in the life of a difficult child and teenager. This presentation is based upon Parents Under Siege: Why You Are the Solution Not The Problem in Your Child’s Life (NY: The Free Press, 2001) by James Garbarino and Claire Bedard.

Educational Objectives:
1) Gain a better understanding of the challenges faced by parents raising temperamentally vulnerable children in today’s socially toxic environment. 2) Examine strategies for improving the development of children and adolescents, such as character education, sensitive listening, matching parenting style to child temperament and spiritual development.
