Parenting Philosophy and Consumerism

Parents are influenced by societal norms to create distance between themselves and their children, often leading to unnecessary purchases of products like strollers, formula, and monitors. The concept of intermediation in business is highlighted, where companies insert themselves between customers and traditional brands, creating a disconnect. The advice given is to practice disintermediation as parents, aiming to establish direct connections with children and eliminate unnecessary middlemen. By carrying children instead of relying on strollers, a closer bond can be formed, enhancing the shared experience of exploring the world together.
