Description:
Iris Pronk once decided to become a strict mother. But in the daily practice of dirty pants, screaming matches and children's quarrels, her pedagogical boundaries appear to be elastic. She decides to do something about that. She follows a popular parenting course, examines the soft seventies of her own youth and wonders how the modern parent came into being: fearful of failure, hyper, overly concerned and weak. She compares herself to the 'tiger mother', to the immigrant mothers in the suburbs, to polite but strict Belgian parents. Her personal quest for a stricter parenting style provides an illuminating portrait of her generation: children of the seventies, parents of today.
