I agree that there are obviously other developmental factors when it comes to children. However, I think it is pretty dangerous to minimize the role of parents (I'm not saying you're doing this, I'm just saying its an extremely poor decision if the development community were to put forth this idea without also emphasizing that parents are still a huge factor). There is already a noticeable lack of good parenting in this country and far too much dependency on other sources (schools, society at large). I just think putting out the message "don't worry about it, you're not that big a deal in their lives anyhow" is a very dangerous proposition in a society already plagued with irresponsible youth (and parents).
