I'm not a fan of single-reason causes but in this case I suspect the harms are explained in this one quote. Instead, they [parents] relied on discipline as the only solution: All of my sons had behavioral issues (less than me tho). ADHD was a common factor. What did I do? Maybe I punished them(singular). Maybe I took them out of school for a day we spent together. One solution will be a wrong solution most of the time. Kids are continually a new person and continually need new approaches. Since society has moved from muti-generation families to just ≤2 parents, it falls on those ≤2 parents to perform the roles of many different adults. We can't ever stop rethinking our methods.
