Good Cop Bad Cop

The previous generation of raising kids are based on the "Good Cop Bad Cop" policy. Father being the bad cop- strict and persistent. Mother being the good cop- caring & sensitive. The product is what we referred as the X Generation. The next generation however, are being raised on a different policy- a "Good cop Scared Cop" policy. The Mother's policy remain unchanged whilst the father's position has been slightly altered- from being strict and persistent to Scary. Its not the kids are there scared of the father however, but the father that is scared of the mother's criticism if he chose to be strict and fierce to the kids. It appears that the approach is no longer acceptable in the new age. The final results? We'll know soon as the new product - Z Generation is out to the shelf soon.
