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)

In response to this post@ChrisMayLA6 This is very interesting! Since I don't have any children myself... how much of a thing is the parenting industry? What products and services are commonly peddled based on induced fear and anxiety?
@h4890
well in the UK... massive! from baby products through to advice on teenagers & everything in between.... all of it driving parental anxiety to encourage purchase of goods & services
