I'm confused about what you are saying is the connection between these four groups?
- Latty 8y agoI think the point is probably "children who's experience ends up being very different from their parent's". Parenting is (relatively) easy when it's problems you faced as a child and teaching things you already know. When you don't understand what your child is going through, helping them through it is a lot harder, and in some cases, parents simply won't be capable of it.
