Newly weds beware, as bringing up kids is becoming ever more difficult.
Seventy-five per cent of people asked in the survey agreed with the statement “British parents are losing control of their children’s behaviour”.
The survey also suggested that more than 75 per cent of people quizzed think the way parents raise their children in Britain has deteriorated in the past 10 years.
Sixty-five per cent of respondents feel that teenage gang culture in Britain is a result of poor parenting. And more than 80 per cent feel parents should be held responsible for their children’s bad behaviour.
The phone poll of more than 1,000 people, carried out by ComRes, features in the first programme of the new series of Radio 4’s Bringing Up Britain (today, Wednesday, December 14, 8pm) which asks if parents have lost control of their children.
Presenter Mariella Frostrup and a panel of guests discuss whether parents today feel they are unable to discipline their children because they are afraid of repercussions by the authorities, or because their children are simply physically too strong to discipline. The programme also asks if children have too many rights and what steps parents can take to try and control unruly children.
The poll indicated that more than 70 per cent of people think parents are afraid to discipline their children physically because they think it is illegal, and more than 60 per cent think parents lack the necessary skills to discipline children.
The panel for the first programme includes: headteacher and advisor to the Department of Education, Charlie Taylor; Sheldon Thomas, founder of Gangsline, which helps youngsters caught up in gangs; Clem Henricson, social policy analyst and Member of the University of Oxford Centre for Research into Parenting and Children; and journalist Zoe Williams.
Other programmes in the series explore: how parents can broach the subject of sex when talking to their children; how to deal with pester-power in an ever more materialistic world; if parents are giving their children enough sense of independence.
