I wish every parent would read your book and wake up!!! This whole crap of giving kids ultimate privacy and relying 100% on talking to them and then hoping they will do the right thing is how we got where we are today. There MUST be dicipline! There needs to be strong parenting. Self-esteem as an excuse is nonsense! Self-esteem will come as the child matures and can make proper decisions with the help of their parents. Letting a child do whatever they want (because you're afriad to be a parent) will not harvest self-esteem, it broods arrogant overly-confident and too-often-thoughtlessly-wrong punks. :) Absolutely!

But even more importantly, your cogent comments about parenting have the exact perspective I have attempted to communicate in the book. Cell phones, the Internet and the layers of insulated privacy from parents are privileges-not rights of children and teens. It is very dangerous, as numerous parents have discovered, to wait for social, emotional, or legal consequences to occur before they start monitoring and supervising their kids more closely. Thank you for reinforcing my message.
