“Parents have lost perspective.”- Hasty generalization. Not all parents have lost perspective.

Parents sign up their four-year-olds for football training; fathers are willing to make a pact with the devil to secure a place for their son in the Arsenal under-12s. - Oversimplification.

At school, he has instructed Ojay not to play football at playtime because of the risk of injuring his joints on the concrete playground. - Rationalization. I think this is just crazy! He is a child. How are you going to tell a child not to play during playtime with their friends?
