“Some parents choose convenience/ease over the safety of their children, and I think it’s bad parenting.”

I’m the SEO Resident here at BuzzFeed, and I cover everything from trending pop culture and celebrity news to evergreen entertainment and lifestyle topics.

"Way too many parents have decided that because their child is average or below average in development, they need intervention. I live in a wealthy suburban neighborhood in a state with top-rated schools, and literally every single boy I know, and many of the girls, are either in speech, occupational, or physical therapy. Half the kids in his preschool are doing an extra year of private preschool, so they will be 6 when they enter kindergarten. Other parents are having their kids repeat grades in elementary school. All because every parent wants their kid to excel and be at the top of their class. It's bananas."

"Kids are resilient. Relax a little, they’ll be fine. Helicopter and snowplow parenting is actually **detrimental** to your child. It’s okay for your kid to be upset, bored, frustrated, (mildly) hurt, etc."

"Monetizing babies and kids on social media should be illegal."

"More parents should potty train before 2 years old. Potty training takes more than three days, and forcing your kid to go pants-less and have accidents without practicing going potty first seems like a recipe for frustration for all."
