Can it really be true?

That children can tell when other kids are suffering? Perhaps they are more clever than we had originally thought. We parents that is.

Only days after famous rapper Eminem spoke out about parenting, are we really letting our children down by poor standards?

The reality is at the end of the day, the buck stops with the parents. It couldn't be simpler. So why are so many parents failing their children? Lack of money is no excuse for high standards of discipline, respect and ultimately love and happiness.

Perhaps it is time Britain shifted direction and started to confront many of these so called 'bad parents' when they fail children.
