The next Generation

[SARID]

I read an article this morning which said that psychologists are warning that parents nowadays heap so much praise on their children, they are creating a "smug generation" Such children are so full of self confidence,that they are convinced they are in every way superior to their parents generation. They are, are of course, heading for a shock when the realities of the real world hit them! The parents most at fault were born in the fifties and sixties.
Many people who grew up in the fifties and sixties claim their achievements were never good enough for their parentsThe article claims the pendulum has swung too far the other way----- has it?
This research was done in the US. Would British research show a different result?
