Overprotection is still way better than underprotection

It was not easy...you are really threading a needle between overprotection & underprotection. Giving them room to make connections on their own vs lecturing. My kid is also naturally inclined to resist being pressed...which means a low & slow method was needed. Blessed to have a very smart & conscientious kid that is far more mature than age would typically suggest.

Exactly. Adventurous, unstructured play is where children learn boundaries, hierarchy, negotiation, how to win with grace and lose without falling apart. They learn teamwork. They learn how to misjudge a jump, scrape a knee, and recover. Those small, physical and social risks are training reps for adulthood. If we eliminate manageable childhood risks, we don’t create safer adults. We create adults encountering failure, rejection, and real-world consequences for the first time when the stakes are much higher. Better a bruised knee at 7 than a shattered identity at 27. Overprotection in the real world and underprotection online is a dangerous inversion. Kids need friction in reality and guardrails in the digital world.

Children nowadays are overprotected in the real world, but underprotected in the virtual world. Anxiety and depression among children and teenagers didn’t rise by accident. As childhood shifted from free play and real-world independence to constant screen exposure and online interaction, emotional resilience quietly declined. When children spend less time exploring the physical world and more time navigating social pressure online, stress increases while coping skills weaken. Overprotection offline and underprotection online have created challenges many families are now struggling to understand. The Anxious Generation explains how this shift from a play-based childhood to a phone-based childhood has affected children’s mental health. If you’re a parent, educator, or simply someone who cares about the next generation, grab a copy of this book to better understand what’s happening and to learn practical insights on how to protect childhood in a digital world. 👉 Get your copy here: - amzn.to/4tgrvXQ #Parenting #ParentingInTheDigitalAge #ChildMentalHealth #RaisingKids #DigitalAge #ScreenTime #OnlineSafety #ToddlerDiscipline #Ad #Sponsored #KenosisCollective

‘This combination of “overprotection in the real world and underprotection in the virtual world” brought about a shift from “play-based” to “phone-based” childhood, with young people’s mental health as a casualty.’ newyorker.com/magazine/2025/…

“My central claim in this book is that these two trends—overprotection in the real world and underprotection in the virtual world—are the major reasons why children born after 1995 became the anxious generation.” ― @JonathanHaidt, The Anxious Generation youtube.com/watch?v=HgUoRK6U…

From OVERuse to UNDERprotection.. A national study warns that the overuse of genetically modified Bt #corn is contributing to the development of corn rootworm resistance, reducing the effectiveness of this technology & increasing costs for U.S. farmers. The study's findings 🔽

Tw: misconduct Remember that rules should always be better safe than sorry. Overprotection is better than underprotection. Thank you Veronika for speaking.

The idea that life is inherently easier for Black women ignores the realities of intersectional oppression. Black women face both racism and sexism, experience higher rates of maternal mortality, wage disparities, and underprotection. Leadership emerged from necessity, not design

Everything is on a cycle - the rules overreach/bashing firms with fines went too far, so we’re probably going to snap too far in the other direction toward underprotection now. Hopefully we hit a Goldilocks equilibrium sometime in the future.

Your shower of shit party can sit this one out too, as it was the conservative government who completely messed up HS2 in every sense. We do not need your faux indignation for either overspending or underprotection of the environment as you've all done your fair share.

9 good books I read in 2024 1) What is Art — Leo Tolstoy A timeless classic offering a remarkably compelling and clear definition of 'art', and by extension, 'good art'. For Tolstoy it's very much about "evoking and transmitting feeling". If you've ever pondered the question, this is the book. 2) Time — @carlorovelli A beautiful meditation by a physicist on the nature of time and being. “Time opens up our limited access to the world. Time, then, is the form in which we beings whose brains are made up essentially of memory and foresight interact with the world: it is the source of our identity! And of our suffering as well.” 3) The Anxious Generation — @JonHaidt Very important research on one of the most pressing issues of our time. Haidt offers a clear framing of the problem with actionable remedies. “Overprotection in the real world and underprotection in the virtual world-are the major reasons why children born after 1995 became the anxious generation.” 4) Autobiography — Charles Darwin A collection of vignettes from the great man's life, including his childhood and travels. They point much more to passion and perseverance than to so called 'genius'. “Looking back...the only qualities that promised well for the future, were, that I had strong and diversified tastes, much zeal for whatever interested me, and a keen pleasure in understanding any complex subject.” 5) The Unaccountability Machine — @dsquareddigest A remarkable book taking a cybernetics system perspective on why intolerable bureaucracy and decision making opacity have become so widespread. I also had honour of interviewing Dan on my podcast: youtube.com/watch?v=Rh3xpQJH… 6) The Soul and the Marionette — John Gray This one has been on my list for a while. It's classic John Gray exploring human hubris, but with a particular emphasis on the idea of 'freedom'. He never disappoints. 7) Dark Matter of the Mind — Daniel Everett A profound book that goes to the heart of 'what it means to be human'. Uber-anthropologist and linguist Everett (who lived with Amazonian Pirahã hunter gatherers for 8 years) explores the power of the culturally unarticulated unconscious in shaping who we are. I was also thrilled to have Prof. Everett on my podcast to discuss questions I have wanted to ask him for years! youtube.com/watch?v=bVXX5q09… 8) Neapolitan Journey — Johann Wolfgang Goethe This one made an impression on me during my Southern Italian wanderings this year. Somewhat hyperbolic, Goethe offers intriguing reflections including on 'North vs South' and how weather might affect productivity. 9) Landscapes of Silence — Hugh Brody An incredible moving book by veteran anthropologist and film maker, Hugh Brody, who lived with the Inuit for 10 years. He reflects on his life, his mistakes and his encounters with human dispossession from the Arctic to Palestine.

This is really scary. Talks about the massive experiment we are conducting with kids having phones and being online. A generation experiencing 'overprotection in the real world, underprotection in the virtual world'.

Let's unlearn and unpack the expression "botched police investigation": police only solve about 10 per cent of serious crimes (generous estimate). theguardian.com/australia-ne… #defundthepolice #underprotection #failuretoprotect
