Even modern parenting has taken an odd twist as many treat their child as their friend or a toy for their amusement.

I don't think that has never not been a thing... Read memoirs/letters from earlier times and you'll see plenty of it too. The big shift was probably admitting the children don't yearn for the mines, but we seem to be heading back that way (eta: in the USA anyway I won't paint other countries with our fuckery lol).
