Number 5: Lack of Discipline
“The death of respectful behavior as a norm in our schools, churches, and families.”
Ward and June Cleaver seemed to have it so easy. A stern look from Father, and you knew you “in for it.”
Think for a moment of times you have seen children badly misbehaving in a grocery store. Think of the times they have been your kids!
We are in a different place than the Cleavers. What has changed? While some families strive to provide consistency and high standards, a culture of disrespect creates a sometimes overwhelming pressure against them. A spirit of rebelliousness pervades our schools and youth culture, more and more often with tragic results.
Gee Wally, things sure have changed.
The number 5 topic facing today’s family, as expressed by individuals from a range of backgrounds, is “Lack of Discipline.”
