I grew up in the 80's and 90's and our playgrounds were all steel and concrete or rough gravel. It wasn't a good day unless you bled a little.

[kathyburnsproctor]

This is so true. I’m a retired teacher and used to beg parents of my students to ‘ help the children through the problems, not round the problem’.

[joeavent]

There were no bicycle helmets for kids in the'70s. My siblings and I are still here.

[jeremeyunger]

Fact! Overcoming hardships makes you a stronger and more resilient person. The average American's life is way too comfortable.

[thomaskaiakapu]

Ackman makes a valid point. In life like football or soccer, you play hard to win. You fall down, you get up, dust yourself off and play harder. These are the same goals in life, you discipline yourself to work hard to succeed. Don't expect mom or dad to pick you up when you fall.

When I was 10 years old? I would leave my families cattle ranch and hike into the mountains with a rifle, knife and army blanket and a couple cans of beans. I would be gone for days on end. I had to control my fear at night when something was walking around in the brush besides my camp. I had to know my way home. I hunted and foraged for my food. I could have died….yes. But I didn’t! My parents gave me many gifts, but that freedom they gave me was probably the best gift ever.

I didn't know it at the time but my sons were hiking the Coastal Mountains iof CA when they were young kids. I lived up in those hills before I had kids and people didn't think there were mountain lions and bears and it is pretty wild up there. They'd do other things that made me cringe but I let them play. They got some bruises but they survived.

I'm a female, grew up in the 70-80's and literally came home bleeding from my nose, knees, elbows, somewhere weekly after playing outside! My moms response was always the same..."don't get blood on the carpet!"

[eamonnmckeown]

Sending your children to a forty hour a week plantation called a school is what's wrong.

When my daughter was little and she fell over or hurt herself I’d say ‘on your feet soldier’. She’s now a strong independent women.

[motrockb]

Valid point! My little ones have plenty of scrapes and bumps. They aren't coddled every time they fall. We often review what happened, while I tell them they'll feel fine in a few minutes. This "debrief" gets their mind off the temporary discomfort, while giving them a better sense of self determination as they learn how to avoid the same scenario if it was truly a mistake. Sometimes, bangs and bruises happen as a normal consequence of pushing their limits, which is encouraged.

To me it started in the 80’s when they stopped keeping score at games because everyone is a winner and all got some award for participation. A non competitive softies who them selves had kids who are softer etc

[asiasimmons]

It’s by design. A big change since the 90s has been the idea that any parent who doesn’t do everything possible to prevent a child from being injured doing the normal things kids do is guilty of neglect. Scared parents raise scared children to become scared adults. Especially when it comes to taking risks. Failing is viewed like a deadly sin one can never recover from even though most people who have achieved great success did so after a lot of trial and error.

We live in a society where our youth curls up in the fetal position if you use the wrong pronoun in front of them.

[richardcarellano]

It was inevitable that the elite would come to worry about the lack of young men who will fight in their wars.

[BayWulf]

Wrapping kids in Cottonballs, physically, mentally and emotionally, HURTS THEM.
If kids don’t learn “Self” Preservation as kids, they’re NOT going to learn it as adults.
Falling down or off your bike or out of a tree or jungle gym or slide and getting skun up, a bloody lip, a bloody nose, and yes, even sprains and breaks as a kid when they’re at their MOST Resilient teaches LESSONS that can be gotten nowhere else.
The same is true with their Psychological and Emotional “Selves”. “Things” happen to kids and they learn to adjust, cope or be more careful. If those “Things” happen for the first time as adults, the adult simply folds, collapses, withdraws or gives up.

Mommy and Daddy never told me its a Tough, Savage World! They never let me realize that … Sometimes LIFE IS NOT FAIR!!!

[tylerdimona]

Gave me a good laugh with that Bruce Willis quote

[brettyates]

It’s such a simple concept and used to be well taught, you have a comfort zone, a stress zone and a tension zone. Your comfort zone won’t encourage growth, you grow in your stress zone BUT people became obsessed with the tension zone, the place where the stress is too much and it harms you physically or mentally. Now the stress zone is avoided like the plague.
Thing is, these things aren’t static, if you avoid your stress zone your comfort zone eventually shrinks to meet it and everyday scenarios end up causing you stress and eventually tension.

Kids eat first. Kids get to be picky. Kids get participation trophies. Family schedules revolve around what the kids want to do. Kids can't go without. Kid's can't sooth themselves. Kids can't experience stress. Kids can't play outside.
