An awareness that smacking children (whether right or wrong) has consequences and that there are other alternatives.

More openess about all sorts of issues - from childbirth, conception problems onwards

Media made us all aware that we don't have to be perfect parents with newspaper columns, TV etc

Fathers are encouraged actively to take part in DC life - paternity leave virtualy unheard of 20 years ago

More information - net etc makes you realise you are not bonkers

Places like this wherre there are people strufggling just like me!
