The Collapse of Parenting

在《育儿的崩溃》一书中，国际知名作家伦纳德·萨克斯认为，年轻人肥胖、抑郁和焦虑水平的上升可以归因于父母放弃威严。结果就是孩子没有是非标准，缺乏纪律，只能向同龄人和互联网寻求指导。萨克斯展示了父母如何通过限制孩子使用屏幕的时间、鼓励孩子在餐桌上养成更好的习惯以及教导孩子谦逊和洞察力来重申他们的威严，以重塑与孩子的关系。

萨克斯凭借作为家庭医生和心理学家近三十年的经验，以及对儿童、父母和老师的数百次采访，提供了一份蓝图，可供父母用来帮助他们的孩子在日益复杂的世界中茁壮成长。

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.

Drawing on nearly thirty years of experience as a family physician and psychologist, along with hundreds of interviews with children, parents, and teachers, Sax offers a blueprint parents can use to help their children thrive in an increasingly complicated world.
