Jonathan Haidt is a social scientist who has a new book out, co-written by Greg Lukianoff, titled “The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure.†A site called Big Think has produced a new video in which Haidt offers support for one of the central themes in his book, i.e. that American parents became worried about allowing their children to have unsupervised playtime starting in the mid-90s, making kids who grew up after that time very different from those who grew up before.
