It's very true. I'm partly of the opinion that too many people these days are guilty of lazy parenting.

With more and more legislation (ie primary school teachers must praise a child 5 times more often than they chastise them) parents are scared of using discipline, in short we're breeding an entire generation of "Little Princes/ses".

It's far easier to give in to kids than get scowled at in the street for saying a firm "No!".
