Hm, this seems a bit contrary to my personal anecdotal experiences. I've generally seen more coddling of kids, and that has been accompanied with lax rules / letting kids have what they want. Especially when it comes to digital tech / roaming the web. Perhaps both extremes of parenting - giving autonomy and helicopter parenting - are both becoming more common?

That’s an interesting point. Kids definitely do have more autonomy with those things and it’s not helping. Generally I think it’s because it’s easier on the parent (which is no slight to parents).
