In response to this post@ChrisMayLA6 A problem there I think, is the tendency to over protect children. That stunts their development and stops them from becoming productive members of society.
I've seen it too much among my younger students (19-25).
I think however, that slowly society is waking up to that fact. But probably too early to tell.

Yup, I'd agree; I do think they need to be protected from some things/people, but we've definitely seen the pendulum of protection swing too far towards (over)protect.... but there is (as you say) a burgeoning movement away from this, although there is still too much programming of risk elements rather than letting young children discover what is risky. I blame the 'parenting' industry which has heightened anxiety about the impact of negative childhood's experience(s)
