It’s so refreshing! To prevent illness we keep our children unnaturally clean, which causes illnesses such as allergies and autoimmune disorders. To keep them from harm we prevent every risky action, so that they never learn their own physical limits and suffer more injuries. Schools conspire to protect self-esteem by showering praise uniformly, so that kids can’t evaluate themselves and lose self-esteem. Ah, such a huge improvement over the abusive parenting theories of past generations!
