Parents Strive To Teach Traditional Values Amid Change
A survey of 1,230 U.S. families with children under 13 finds parents split over how to balance work, money, and modern childrearing. While many want to pass traditional values on, nearly all acknowledge shifts toward self fulfillment and reduced parental sacrifice, with both traditionalists and modern families sharing concern over parenting standards. The study notes a growing implied contract where parents may do less for children, yet still expect respect and adherence to core norms despite changing expectations.
