I think this may have gotten worse after the Industrial Revolution.,
Even if there were plenty of teen parents (which there probably were, since life expectancy then was ~60), I think they were raised by the entire village or tribe.
And, children and teenagers were put to work on the farm immediately, so "parenting" was mostly "go play as long as you have done the day's labor" Great sense of early independence and capbility since you mostly went off to play with the town's kids together, less mental issues
So I think that every child then had the wisdom of the entire group, not just 2 people like today. And the parents can;t just brush off 5 other trusted adults telling them that they're wrong, there is a system of "checks and balances" there
The longer it goes on (families isolated from frequent contact with many elders), the worse each family can become. Like evolving from generation to generation, insulated from outside correction
