I have four kids (two of my own, and two stepchildren) and I generally agree with this style of parenting. I feel like there is a bit of a "cult of the child" in America (where I am) where it is a competition now to raise the most perfect children, with the most perfect Instagram ready activities all the time, each a potential STEM subject genius with world changing thoughts, etc. etc. It's tiring to watch if you are on social media, which I feel is one of the big drivers of the new attitudes toward kids. I see parents using their kids for virtue signalling all the time.
