Summary "Child Versus Parent: Some Chapters on the Irrepressible Conflict in the Home" by Stephen S. Wise is a scholarly exploration written in the early 20th century. This book delves into the complex relationships between parents and children, with a particular focus on the inevitable conflicts that arise throughout various stages of family life. The central theme revolves around understanding both parental responsibilities and children's rights, while examining the dynamics that lead to misunderstandings and discord in the home. The opening of the work presents a profound reflection on the evolving nature of the family unit in the context of societal changes. Wise argues that the family is not doomed but is instead evolving into something that must grapple with modern realities. He highlights that conflicts often begin not in childhood but during adolescence as the balance of power shifts and children seek independence. The author emphasizes the need for parents to recognize their children's individuality and the importance of mutual respect, not just love, within these relationships. He advocates for parents to fulfill their roles as educators in a moral and spiritual sense, rather than merely providing material support, urging a cooperative and democratic model in the home to nurture healthy connections between parents and children.
