Turns out cow-towing to children does great harm to the kids parents think they're nurturing. Bill notes the run-of-the-mill high school student has the same level of anxiety as a psychiatric patient in the early 1950s. Nuff said.

Mr. Maher argues the OG traditional dad, or trad dad, is the answer. Go back to treating kids like they are -- little people without judgment who need discipline and preparation for real life.
