I think we broadly agree. I wasn't precise in what I meant by parental training. As you pointed out, in modern british cities, outside of the immigrant communities, parental duties are rarely communal. Moreover they are happening later and as you point out, away from family and other support groups.

This is a change that has accelerated in the last 25 years, and we do all need to do something about it. I suspect the first step is making housing mor affordable, which means building more homes. (both "private" and social, [council housing] we can't just cater to one part of the market.)
