Modern Discipline and Behavior

What is going on these days with kids having such difficulty regulating their emotions and keeping their emotions in check in public AND at home?? As a school OT, I would say that I consult on self regulation strategies for students on a daily basis. Kids have less self control than ever. So what has changed, why are we seeing more and more of this in the school setting?

I don't have a science backed answer for that, but I recently read this article, and I found some of the information in it to be thought provoking. We can't handle kids, parent kids, teach kids like we did in the past, because things are not like they were back in the day. Kids these days can't be compared to kids of the past, because too much has changed in their world and environments. "The current model of parental discipline is as outdated as a rotary phone."

Here's a link to the article, maybe you will find it thought provoking as well:
