I think this resonates with real life too. Parents who actualy *parent* typically have well behaved kids.
Parents who are too absorbed in their own lives to play, read, stimulate, hug, love, discipline, and instruct their children typically have poorly behaved kids. It is unfortunate that we often refer to the children as "bad kids" when the more accurate moniker would be the "children who were unfortunately born to terrible parents."
