The advice is interesting, but I don’t think warrant telling someone “they’re doing it wrong”.
Your extrapolating from your experience with 2 children. Children are difficult and often respond differently to the same techniques. However if you wanted to show that a particular technique is superior in the majority of cases, some data would be useful.
In general, the workload of parenting is underestimated. This is somewhat problematic in the tech industry (male dominated) when the majority of childcare is still performed by women [1]. It leads to a lack of understanding and devalues childcare work.
I think the real problem is that almost all parents have no experience in early childhood development. They sort of learn as they go and infer the good things that happened to them. Parents are by no means early childhood development experts. Just like you go to a medical doctor you can find professionals who can help.
