I’m not sure I would call eating dirt a tenet of modern parenting. Most parents will stop their children if they see them eating dirt. It’s more a question of how hard you try to stop them.
this may be a bubble thing- the parents I know generally won’t, and the stated reason will be that eating dirt benefits the children’s immune system.
On the other hand, it will not stop most children from intentionally ingesting quite some amount of dirt.
