Parents are famous for saying things like, “well, back in my day we did things differently” or “kids these days are too sensitive.” While there is some gravity to these points, there are also many things that have changed over the years, and with great reason. Installing child seatbelts in cars for instance, or advising pregnant women against smoking.

It can be eye-opening to look back on how drastically different parenting used to be for earlier generations. Check out these old school parenting photos below.
