How has the relationships between parents and children changed over the last 50 years?

I would like some help with my Sociology work, cheers.How has the relationships between parents and children changed over the last 50 years?
Seems to me that parents do less parenting. Heck a kid is lucky to even have two parents. I would look up the stats on children being born out of wedlock, those in divorced families and those living with their bio parents with no half siblings.





More children are put in day care then back 50 years ago.





Parents are more self-centered now days.How has the relationships between parents and children changed over the last 50 years?
Hmmmm...I think parents these days want to be more involved with their children instead of the old ';Seen but not heard'; theory. It's good to listen to your children and make them feel a part of the family and that their opinions matter....but some parents nowdays go a little too far in trying to ';please'; their children instead of staying with limits and punishments. You can balance both ..it is possible.
Parents seem less involved in their children's lives. There is too much pressure nowadays for the mothers to go back to work and shove their kids off onto someone else to be raised, especially after either 6 weeks or after the child starts school.
Parents used to control their children. Today, children control their parents. As with any other topic, it doesn't apply to absolutely everyone... but most.
