[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My therapist friend sometimes shares that in general, based on what she sees, she fears a generation of kids who are coddled into being afraid of everything. Afraid to go away for college. Afraid of responsibility. Afraid of breaking out of any comfort zone. Is that spoiled? It might be a form of it. Not rebellion as OP described but more of parents spoiling kids so they never grow. [/quote] I work at a college and have frequent interface with students. All of this is so true. The students are actually (for the most part) pretty polite and nice. It's just the total bewilderment of the world around them, the hand holding, the constant reassurance and recognition they require...it's tiring. [/quote] Its no different than when we grew up. The only difference is the negativity and if anything more hands off parenting.[/quote]
