idle parenting/ it

These days a child’s typical day is crammed full with activities: ballet, judo, tennis, piano, and art projects. Children have become victims of chronic over-stimulation by their anxious parents. There is a simple solution that will make the lives of both children and parents easier; it is idle parenting. To busy modern parents, this idea seems counterintuitive. All parents have a nagging sense that somehow they are doing it all wrong and that more work needs to be done.

Q) Are nurturing, rearing, upbringing the synonym for "parenting?"
And is there any word that can replace "idle" in the first underlined part?

Q2) What is "it" in the second underline? Does it refer to something in context or mean something?
