Stop the mollycoddling, and HTFU

Stop mollycoddling your children says NZ's youngest libertarian, and visiting British early childhood consultant Tim Gill.

"If we're constantly telling kids you can't do that it's too dangerous or you can't talk to strangers or everybody out there is trying to get you, well then it's no surprise that kids are increasingly growing up anxious and afraid," says Gill.

Message to kids, and their parents: HTFU.

Yes, a jolly good observation from this Tim Gill chap. A good man!

It is rather pathetic when parents try to protect children from the World and day to day life, as if it was a miracle the current population aged over 18 are alive and well.
