From two western parenting books: The Gardener and the Carpenter by Alison Gopnik and The End of American Childhood by Paula Fass.
Both of the books reveal how parenting has shifted over the 20th century. In this present era, Western parents have made a lot of rules given a dozen of advice for their children. As the result, it has made a number of children get stressful.
Gopnik wrote that parents just like a gardener who provides a fertile soil and looks after their plants naturally. Parents, therefore, should care to their children proportionally in order that they can fully develop their talents or ambitions.
Whereas, Fass told that in the past, parenting just had a simple goal that thought to be able to survive. For instance, American Children were more independent because they worked and help their family also experienced slavery in the Civil War II.
