The way H talks about his children is quite disturbing. Children are not upgrades, they are unique individual human beings in the same way every child who ever existed is. Each generation isn't an upgrade on the last one. What would that mean?: they are more intelligent? more moral? more creative? happier?
This view reveals an underlying belief in the constant progress of humans beings being improved upon, rather than the belief in an essential consistent human nature. This itself is quite dangerous, but quite prevalent and it's leading to ideas such as transhumanism and eugenic approaches to foetus selection.
Totally dim H though thinks his upgrade is being brought about by his amazing parenting due to his therapy.
The fact that he thinks that guarantees to me that he's actually being a shit parent ,caught up in the hubris that because he's found the new shiny way to be great he can make his children great. A terribly destructive idea for children
This approach to parenting is currently rife and he's bought into it. The current generation of parents do seem to believe they are better parents than their parents were and so their kids are going to be just great. In reality this totally ignores the data that the kids are now more unhappy, more medicated, more fearful and less engaged in life than any othergeneration.
This therapeutic ,self absorbed, self congratulatory, parenting as a self validation tool, is making children miserable and ill.
Yes it's good that we no longer smoke around children, make them wear seatbelts and don't leave them outside pubs with a packet of crisps for hours, but we've also isolated them, removed opportunity for free unsupervised play with friends, pressurised them to achieve academically, scheduled all their free time (so they can go to clubs and be upgraded) and removed them from wider family structure and isolated them from grandparents.
In fact one of the key factors in childhood resilience is a wide family network around you. Particularly relationships with grandparents and an older generation. It provides children not only with more people to love them, but crucially forms their identity, and opens up new learning social and general experience and knowledge. This is true even if the grandparents are a bit shit (not true if their abusive).
So H is actually engaging in a key parenting approach which actively harms his children, while congratulating himself on what a fantastic parent he is, and how his children will be 'upgraded' because of it.
It's a vile way to view children
