I don't see much prospect for such a parental attitude yet. Our society is still viewed as not safe. Helicopter parenting is still the norm. Prophets are supposed to start getting born in 2025. I don't know if they will. We only have 3 years to set our world on a course of recovery from global warming and the climate crisis. Otherwise our saeculum ends and there will be no more turnings and no more prophet/idealists or any other archetypes. We face continual and unstoppable decline and fall.
The saeculum has not been hopeless until now. Awakenings have gotten sharper and less traditional from 2nd turning to 2nd turning, with the new realizations passed on from one 2T to the next 2T. The progressive side has always won in 4Ts, except in societies where there are no turnings, or those that suffered huge defeat, but in recent times as in Germany and Japan failed 4T societies were rescued by the victorious USA. Now there is no-one to rescue the USA itself.
