Yeah that doesn't jive anymore in the era of smartphones and social media unfortunately.

Parents are overworked in increasing wealth inequality.

School becomes a necessary daycare. Less time with parents, sadly. More time learning bad habits from peers.

Combine with easily access internet access. And if parents are strict they're accused also of being helicopter parents bubble-wrapping their kids from reality. Connect the dots. Most saying it's easy aren't actually parents themselves.

Thats a serious issue; its not uncommon to see kids who literally don't know how to interact without their parents because their parents don't let them socialize without hovering directly over.

While my own parents weren't helicopter parents in the traditional sense, I was around adults more than most kids much of my childhood and that was both good and bad. For childhood it was harder because my maturity level relative to my peers was much higher. I expected peers to behave like the adults in my life and with reason and maturity and found neither. On the other hand it was an investment into adulthood and I had dodged A LOT of things other people did not.
