"Olden days" is defined as the past days you feel affection for, whereas "old days" is just a neutral meaning, good or bad.
I think the writer seems to miss olden days when parents brought up children in a stronger way, that's why he used "olden days", Right?

ex)Parents today are pretty shocked about how neglectful parents used to be in the olden days. Now some parents think their job is to protect children from every hurt and danger. ....What we need to give them instead is the strength, the confidence, the skills, and the connection with others that allows them to cope with being hurt, and even grow from it...The harsher realities of life - death, homlessness, war, poverty, injustice, violence - are scary to children, but we can't keep them sheltered indefinitely.
