Parenting orientation
This hub organizes parenting around developmental aims rather than authors: secure attachment, emotional regulation, discipline, graduated independence, family structure, education, and technology. Argument maps keep empirical disputes separate from practical protocols.

Evidence boundary
Smartphone adoption, school design, family change, economic disruption, diagnosis, and treatment trends overlap. Keep temporal sequence, mechanism, effect size, subgroup variation, and causal identification separate.
