Dent tells Press Club parenting strain is policy failure, not personal failing

Parenting advocate Georgie Dent told the National Press Club on 23 September 2026 that family pressures come from systems 'designed for another era' and are a 'policy failure', not personal failure. Parents could not 'meditate their way out of a childcare desert' or 'meal prep' their way out of housing stress. Resilience talk is cheap; parents need care and housing.
