A lot of science supports the idea that helicopter hyper-parenting is hurting kids by having them grow up in an environment that’s too sterile. Let your kids go outside and roll around in the mud a bit. God forbid they lick the floor. Science says it’s good for them!

Can't remember a single kid with a peanut allergy growing up in the 70s.

Lumped in with the SIDS batch.

It is absolutely amazing to me that we now know how SIDs works. And incredibly tragic that the prevalence in the eighties was because so many more parents smoked in the house.

We think of smoking as something that kills by eventually causing cancer, but it is much worse.
