> The word "young" doesn't even appear in the article, so not sure what you're talking about.

The title of the post we're both commenting on, which reads: "Why young parents should focus on building trust with their kids". I was assuming that the title was oddly editorialized, but it's also not that uncommon for articles to change their titles too so it's possible that posting guidelines were followed and it was the article itself that specified "young parents" at some point. Considering the age of the article though, I kind of doubt it.




It was posted by the author I think. I have no idea why they went with the different title. Isn't HN usually pretty strict about titles, to discourage clickbaiting?


The actual page title "marshmallow test and parenting" is much better. The HN title makes it sound like it's only relevant to a subset of parents ("young ones").
