I don't know some of the behaviors I have observed seem natural to the kids more than bad parenting to me. Again no doctor but I see approximately one billion school age children in a typical week.
I think a third and not improbable explaination might be 40 years ago people left their children with difficulties at home more often, and hid their struggles better.
