Are We Depersonalizing Parenting?

The other day, I saw a video about an AI-powered crib that adjusted temperature, sound, and movement to improve a baby’s sleep. As I watched the technology in action, I wondered: are we really making parenting easier, or are we drifting away from what truly matters?

Technology can be helpful, but when it replaces presence and emotional bonding, we risk depersonalizing childhood. In our quest for a "perfect" environment, are we forgetting what children really need?

🌱 Over-Control and Autonomy
We live in a hyper-controlled world, where everything from smart cribs to baby monitors tracks every detail. Taking care of our little ones is important, but too much control can hinder their autonomy.

Exploring, making mistakes, and making decisions are all part of learning. Allowing children to experience these moments not only strengthens their confidence but also equips them with the tools they need to face life.

💛 The Value of Human Connection
Beyond any technological advancement, nothing replaces real connection—hugs, laughter, and shared moments. This is where emotional security is built.

At Petit Folks, we believe in creating environments that prioritize exploration, play, and authentic connection—without screens or overstimulation. Discover how to support their growth with experiences that nurture both their autonomy and their bond with the world.
