"This is the result of a society where "fairness" means every child wins a prize for turning up. Is it a result of never hearing "no, you will not." It is a result is parents shrugging thier shoulders and saying "what can we do?" It is a result of people listening to psychologists talk in a clinical manner about children who must not be subjected to binary choices and outcomes, but negotiated with, when thier cognitive capacity and experience is unable to fathom such complex choices"
Absolutely 100% spot on....
