"Over-sharing kids' lives on social media. Turning children into content before they can consent messes with their privacy, safety, and sense of identity, and the internet never forgets. Nurse here: Refusing vitamin K for your newborn. I've never seen an infant harmed as a result of a vitamin K shot, but I have seen one die as a result of a brain bleed that could have been prevented with a routine vitamin K injection."
"This isn't only a modern trend, but dads need to chill out with the 'my daughter can't marry until she's 40' rhetoric or the 'hurt my daughter, and I'll murder you' stuff.

Refusing routine newborn care such as vitamin K injections can cause preventable, fatal injuries. Overprotective or violent parental rhetoric toward adolescent dating creates unrealistic expectations and can damage healthy relationship development. Parents often shift blame to teachers for academic or behavioral shortfalls despite most teachers being caring and committed. Defensive parental responses to school reports can impede honest communication and appropriate support for children with neurodevelopmental differences. Safer, more measured approaches better protect children's health, autonomy, and learning.
