If you want ideas for what you can do about it, "Let Grow" (founded by the Anxious Generation author and others) provides resources for raising more independent kids and campaigning against anti-kid neighborhoods and overly burdensome neglect laws - https://letgrow.org

One of the testimonies mentions a 4 year old cooking dinner (pancakes, eggs and sausages).

I call BS.
