To me the broader issue is whether parents are raising their children, boys and girls, to be afraid of the world; taking risks and getting hurt and playing through that is part of life.
I agree completely! We are raising a generation of children who are afraid. Far too many parents are themselves afraid of life, and have passed that on to their kids. As a result, I see lots of teenagers and young adults lacking day to day life skills, because they were never allowed to learn them, or explore them. Male and female.
