Roland Kim, Ph.D.

About This Book

This book questions whether parenting approaches based primarily on power, indulgence, authority, reward, consequences, or over-involvement are sufficient for younger generations. Drawing on the Five-Stage Model, it proposes empathic parenting as a developmental approach to rebuilding connection and supporting emotional independence.

What You’ll Explore

Authoritarian, permissive, over-involved, neglectful, indirect, and authoritative parenting; their possible consequences; the limits of conventional discipline; empathy as a parenting practice; and practical guidance for strengthening parent-child relationships across changing generations.

Who This Book Is For

For parents, fathers, caregivers, and educators who want to understand generational changes and develop a parenting style centered on empathy, emotional understanding, connection, and age-appropriate independence.
