Authority Unlearned - L. J. Morten

Why has authority become so difficult to hold-and so difficult for children to recognise?
Authority Unlearned traces the quiet, generational story behind the collapse of instinctive respect. Moving from the trauma-shaped households of the early twentieth century through stability, comfort, abundance and digital overstimulation, it reveals how each era softened the emotional foundations that once made discipline effortless.

Clear, calm and sharply observed, this book shows why modern authority feels fragile-and how it can be rebuilt with intention rather than fear. A guide for parents, teachers and anyone trying to lead in a world where the old model no longer works.
