Could you be more specific about these generally successful methods? If it is so simple, why are people looking for new/other strategies?

I already linked to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parenting_styles which goes into far more details than I can provide, and with additional links.

Who said any of these 'generally successful methods' were simple?

Losing weight is - in principle - a matter of eating less and exercising more. If it's so simple, why are people looking for new/other strategies?

The author of this piece is also the author of a book on how to raise children. There are oodles of these sorts of books, with all sorts of different and conflicting advice.

I see no one has followed up on my implicit argument that the definition of "success" in the original article is itself a problem.
