I wouldn't say that they have no tools but you're right, they have definitely been hobbled, especially in the U.S. It's terrible the way that kids are coddled and limited in terms of play and pushed so hard to excel in other areas, all while being told that each and every one of them is special and unique.

It's strange that so much money goes into developmental research on children and yet the application of those findings seems to be lacking in society at-large.
