  1. today’s news reminded me of some “need a spankin'” recent comments…
    RISE OF THE VIOLENT “LITTLE EMPERORS” (Friday Church News Notes, July 22, 2011, – The following is excerpted from “Rise of the Violent,” Daily Mail, July 11, 2011: “Children are becoming increasingly violent towards their parents when they do not get their own way, a leading psychologist has warned. The ‘little emperors’ of this ‘spoilt generation’ lash out both at home–particularly at mothers who stand in their way–and school or even nursery. Experts have blamed the decline in respect for authority on a lack of clear parental boundaries and rules, as well as an emphasis on children’s rights. The problem is getting worse and spans the class divide, according to Dr Aric Sigman, a fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine. He said the age at which children were violent and disrespectful towards their teachers ‘is coming down to nursery level’. He added: ‘They’re swearing and throwing chairs at their teachers at younger and younger ages. It isn’t surprising this is happening in a domestic setting. Parent abuse and parent battery appear to be on the rise and what seems to underlie this is to do with parenting, the lack of boundaries and the reversal of authority. It’s the extreme end of the spoilt generation where they actually lash out at parents, almost exclusively their mothers. There’s a lack of impulse control, demands for instant gratification and not accepting deferred gratification.’ Dr Sigman analysed academic studies, psychologists’ observations and police reports in Britain, America and New Zealand to update his book on the subject, The Spoilt Generation. He said: ‘There’s been a change, it’s getting worse and it’s going further down the age scale. I’m talking about younger and younger children, including girls, beating up their mothers and kicking them down the stairs. Mothers are ashamed to ask for help.’” Proverbs 29:15 “The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.” 2 Timothy 3:1-2 “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy.”
