If you want a screwed up child you would pick from the "or's". If you want a well-adjusted child you would put "and's" in there just as another poster suggested. When I read articles such as the one you linked, I begin to realize just why many of the younger generation are so screwed up. It is sad that they have to be fed such nonsense. A good parent, teacher, etc, is not going to instruct in an either/or mentality. Maybe that is the real problem.
