About the Author

Interview on "Childhood Unbound: Authoritative Parenting for the 21st Century"

Ron said that kids are different now because they live in an exponentially different world. Technology had now made constant communication possible. This change, he believes, happened around the mid-90s. The result is that kids are now more open, and, in fact, parents would rather have kids talk back rather than keep things to themselves.

He also talked about how parents must ensure that they are not relegated to the role of a second family, the first being the peer group and popular culture. Actually, children still long to stay in touch with their parents, but parents often don't give them undivided attention because the parents are too busy multitasking or thinking of other things. It's a misconception, the author said, that youngsters don't wish to communicate with parents.

His book, "Childhood Unbound: Authoritative Parenting for 21st Century," helps parents do away with obsolete parenting styles and it offers essential advice on ways to be a great mother or father in a new age of fast technological development and puzzling social norms.
