A good way to figure out how we are "supposed" to parent might be to study primates and other mammals.
Compare to "what is the best way to walk" and then studying gorillas. We might learn something, but we obviously should not--heh--ape those evolutionary relatives. We've had more than enough time to develop our own separate-possibly incompatible--situation and needs.
That said, sometimes you might want to take a chance and not wait for the results of an experiment to be known. ChatGPT calls this a "temporal dilemma".
...also, closer to us, definitely don't study the bonobos
