In The Collapse of Parenting, internationally acclaimed author Leonard Sax argues that rising levels of obesity, depression, and anxiety among young people can be traced to parents abdicating their authority. The result is children who have no standard of right and wrong, who lack discipline, and who look to their peers and the Internet for direction. Sax shows how parents must reassert their authority - by limiting time with screens, by encouraging better habits at the dinner table, and by teaching humility and perspective - to renew their relationships with their children.

Every child comes with an innate temperament, which includes a motivational style, emotional reactions, strengths, and areas that require extra support. In particular, children who are easily frustrated, impulsive, inflexible, or fearful have unique needs that can challenge any parent.
