FAFO parenting can harm children without proper guidance

The FAFO parenting trend, where children learn from consequences, is often misapplied and can be harmful. Experts warn that without parental guidance, children may feel isolated and unsupported, leading to emotional distress and difficulty forming healthy relationships later in life. While allowing children to experience natural consequences is a valid technique, it must be accompanied by parental support to help them process the experience and learn effectively.
