Nation of Wimps:
How and Why We're Creating Psychologically Fragile Children
Hara Estroff Marano, Lenore Skenazy, Susan Davis

pic Bubble wrapped, sanitized, protected and weak. As we've tried to protect our children from every conceivable threat, real or imagined, we have essentially created a fragile generation of Americans who lack some of the basic coping and survival skills of generations past. The general consensus is that we're creating a nation of wimps.  So what can we do now?  Moreover what should you being doing differently with your child.

I Heard It On BAM Radio!

 It was so thought-provoking that I couldn’t fall asleep afterwards. The question discussed was: “Are we raising a nation of wimps?”  The commentators proposed that children are not learning the coping skills which lead to independence.  Their childhood is nice and clean and safe, but they are psychologically fragile later on when they leave for college.
