Parenting has changed dramatically, and some things that once seemed completely normal would cause serious concern today. This countdown looks at 10 old parenting habits that are now illegal or heavily restricted in many places, plus 10 modern habits that arguably deserve to disappear. From kids riding in pickup beds, babies sitting in front seats, smoking in cars, unsafe cribs, leaving children alone in vehicles, and skipping bike helmets to oversharing childhoods online, forcing hugs, yelling at youth referees, sending sick kids to daycare, and blasting tablets in public, this list covers plenty of controversial territory. We will look at how safety standards changed, which old habits vanished for good reason, and which modern parenting trends may eventually look just as strange. Watch until the end and tell us which parenting habit you cannot believe was ever considered normal.
