Intensive parenting is no longer just for the rich
Original: Intensive parenting is no longer the preserve of the rich
The Economist reports that intensive parenting — heavily time- and money-consuming child-rearing with close supervision and structured activities — has spread beyond wealthy families and is now common among middle- and lower-income households. The shift is attributed to rising competition over education and jobs, changing social norms about what good parenting requires, and the wider availability of parenting advice.
Why now: It touches a nerve with parents everywhere facing rising pressure and cost of raising children.
