I really recommend you all look up the work of Social Phycologist Jonathan Haidt. Specially his work regarding his book “The Coddling of The American Mind.”

In it he covers the consequences of over-protective parenting on today’s American youth and how those consequences have spilled over onto college campuses in the form of over-protective policies. As a kid myself I feel as though his work really resonates with me and I *highly* consider all current parents to become at least familiar with his research.
