Why coddling our children ultimately hurts them

As the mother of a 10-year-old, I frequently feel the threat of social media creeping its way into his life. So far my husband and I have avoided giving him a phone. His only laptop is a school-issued ChromeBook with prison-tight safety elements and no access to adult or inappropriate sites. 

But after producing the film "The Coddling of the American Mind," I started to realize that I was putting far too much attention on the enemy outside. Inside of our young people’s heads, there is a battleground as well.
