Poor Parenting Skills Fuelling Bad Behaviour Among School Kids

Poor parenting skills and a general lack of respect for authority figures are the two main reasons for declining behaviour among five to 11-year-olds.

Pushy parents who 'over schedule' their kids with activities might be undermining their young ones' independence, self-confidence and imagination, says a new research.

The study was conducted by Channel 4's Dispatches and the NASUWT teachers'' union.

One said: "It is guaranteed that once a child is reprimanded we will have an irate parent banging on the door the next day demanding to know why and insisting that their child is not to blame."

One teacher said most problems stemmed from "hugely over-indulged children who think they are the only person in the class".
