"I doubt very much there was ever a point in history where 2-year olds were left with zero supervision."

In Denmark today 0-2 year olds are regularly left outside in a baby stroller to nap while their parents are inside.

That's not zero supervision IMO. The parent is easily within range of the child, and most likely checks up on them from time to time.

Edit: I think a lot of people in this thread are getting the idea that I'm advocating parents need to helicoptor parent their 2-year olds 24/7. Not at all what I'm saying. I don't think you are greatly increasing risks to your child in that scenario.
