        1. Furedi (2001)
          1. Argues that paranoid parenting has lead to parents not wanting to let children to go out alone and has reduced independence; this has also impacted children's fitness levels.
      2. Changes in legislation

            1. Parents spend less time with children, so less socialisation. Rise in the child consumer.
