Define "coddling." And, no, "concerns" don't necessarily have to be backed up by evidence, but I take them a lot less seriously when they're not. As Christopher Hitchens used to say, "What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence."https://twitter.com/notchuraverage1/status/1090592784367738881 …

This is why developmental psychology / child psychology / etc research exists, so yes, you do need evidence, or else you will fall into pop psychology that feels “right” due to confirmation bias and tropes of the era. They’ve been saying this coddling thing for generations.
