“Sure he raises valid objections. Increasingly parents seem afraid to discipline their children. Not just airplanes but everywhere.”

Now wait a minute. Are they afraid or is this that new fangled “free range” or “gentle parenting” that these young parents are doing?

Both. It was a generalization admittedly.

I was thinking that in this current soft culture young parents may be afraid to discipline children in public because of what others might think about them or video them.

There is also what you say that the trend these days is to be soft “free range” parents.
