CChildren of politically liberal parents are more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety, lack a sense of purpose in life, and have substance use problems, according to a family doctor with more than 30 years of experience.
Dr. Leonard Sax, who has a Ph.D. in education, tell the Washington Examiner Left-handed parents are more likely to “disagree” in their parenting style, leaving children with inadequate control.
Mothers use pills to fight FENTANYL addiction their daughters have.
These “permissive parents,” whose parenting style is often referred to as “indulgent parenting,” do not want to be seen as “controlling” or “demanding” to their children.
For example, “moderate parents,” described by advocates as “patient, calm, and non-punitive,” do not teach their children to use the toilet, but “model” with the using the toilet in hopes of encouraging the child to use the toilet. toilet until their diapers grow out.
In a piece for the Institute for Family Studies, Sax wrote about an experience he had with a six-year-old patient and her mother, where the little girl refused to open her mouth for Sax to examine her sore throat. . When she asked the mother to join her daughter to get it done, she responded with the words of support, “It’s her body, her choice.”
“I think it’s because of the lack of control,” said the doctor for free parents. “Power feels almost sexual.”
These parents will think “I can’t force my child to take on a role they didn’t choose.”
“I now meet parents who believe in ‘gentle parenting,’ or its close, thoughtful parenting. A parent who is gentle with a child will decide. A gentle parent does not use punishments of any kind, not even time out. And gentle parents prosper.…

“Kids need boundaries. They need structure. They need guidance,” Sax said. “Letting kids make all the big decisions without barriers results, often, in kids walking away, anxious and depressed.”
Sax cited an article in the Journal of American College Health, showing that allowing parents to develop in young people “not the sense of purpose and purpose of life, not autonomy and the readiness of the world around them.” The doctor also pointed to research that shows such parenting can lead to substance abuse problems.
“In order for a child to become an adult, they need to know what’s important, what’s important,” Sax said. “Children are not born knowing the rules, they need to be taught. But if you don’t teach them, then they will run away, and they will be in the culture of their peers. What is right and wrong in the culture of your peers. It can change from one day to the next, from one hour to the next.”
Rapidly changing cultural patterns have had significant effects on children, which have been greatly increased by the availability of mass media.
“Whether you’re a good person or not doesn’t matter,” Sax said. “If you’re not famous, you don’t exist. … If you don’t have a million followers on Instagram, if you don’t have a lot of likes on your TikTok, you don’t exist, you don’t exist.”
“If parents indoctrinate their children into an eternal culture, then the children are separated and protected from that influence of modern American culture,” he continued. “But if parents allow and allow their children to spend hours of the day on social media and playing video games, then the children are inducted into that toxic culture, and that culture addiction we know leads to anxiety, depression, and withdrawal.”
These parents are more accepting of life-altering treatments, such as transgender drugs and surgeries, than control parents.
One thing Sax says doesn’t get enough attention is the fact that liberal parents “have more kids transitioning or wanting to transition to another gender.”
“In a home where the parents are abandoned, if the child announces, ‘Hey, I saw a TikTok video, I think I’m trans,’ the left-center parent says, ‘Oh, good! Whatever you say,'” he explained.

“Left-center parents are very open to puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones if the child wants it,” Sax said. “The right-of-center parent will be more suspicious and strongly resist attempts to change.”
Sax said the connection between parental consent and left-of-center thinking is new, but research has shown that American culture has shifted toward a more “child-friendly” attitude over the years. passed away.
