What does that mean? Let them play with plastic toys, then as teenagers smoke weed and fuck each other? How about we let children and teenagers be people. They want to help their dads in their day to day lives, family and work are closely connected. Teenagers want their autonomy and their own money, they want to learn skills that they can use as adults. Instead we send dad somewhere away from his family to earn money and isolate teenagers from the real world and expect them to just get it at 18. Preventing children and teenagers from doing any actual growing up, infantilizing capable people with ambitions and a restless desire to learn and grow in the world, that is dysfunctional, not letting them hammer some nails or pick some apples or whatever.
