So in 1950 a child of middling parents might have been talked to regularly, taken to market, sung in church, and walked around town
This all ended because of the extreme paranoia of child predators and dangers that became common place around the 70s-90s. Children used to be trusted to just go out into the world and live at a very young age, but now need to be kept inside where its safe. And because they are still children, the tablets are used to pacify them from becoming unbearable.
The reasonings for this paranoia are at least partly media fear mongering and hugely the Civil Rights movement shoving impulsive, aggressive apes into every school and neighborhood with massive legal protections if you contested it.
Not to mention in the 50s a lot of parents had someone home at all times to take care of the child (mother, grandparents, the large amount of siblings), whereas now they are lucky if they can do a fraction of that interaction during the short period they have after work, during which they are usually exhausted from said job and doing a poor effort at it.
This is my soapbox rant to say that letting Women and Blacks have rights is one of the reasons why Millenials ended up sucking so hard and the problem with thier children is only getting worse.
