I think one factor we have is that we have extended childhood into the mid to late twenties. In some ways, this is great: young people can stay on their parent's health insurance, and parents and other adults seem more supportive of giving them time to develop into who they want to be. But when it extends to protecting them from the realities of the world, or hesitating to confront them when they are wrong about something, we do them a HUGE disservice.

Too many people believe that if their assertions go unchallenged that makes them true.
