"Millennial Parents Break Tradition with New Child-Rearing Practices"
Millennial parents are breaking away from the parenting styles of their own parents by fostering open communication, showing more affection, and encouraging emotional expression and independence in their children. They are consciously avoiding past mistakes such as being emotionally distant, shaming children for expressing feelings, and being overly protective. These parents are also focusing on building their children's self-esteem and are more receptive to discussing mental health, aiming to raise kind and caring individuals. Critics, however, warn against doing too much for children, as it may hinder their independence.
