| Poor parenting is creating a growing number of fragile children more likely to become adults who end up in jail or in need of increased welfare handouts, a leading educator has warned.
Writing in the WA Primary Principals Association's journal, its president Stephen Breen said teachers had to contend with parents who sent their children to school without breakfast and failed to teach them social skills.
And, at the other extreme, teachers had to deal with a rise in "helicopter parents" hovering over their children protectively.
Mr Breen said primary school educators believed such problems were getting worse, in spite of the efforts of schools, non-profit organisations and government agencies.
