I would just say that I think pretty much every generation thinks the one that comes after theirs is "weaker" or more pampered. Talking to my mom about her childhood and I can see similarities to the way I was raised, but I also see many things that were harder (especially during WWII).

I grew up on screens -- TV screens and computer screens. But I also played a lot outside. I think it comes down to parents finding a balance that works for them, and with both parents working pretty much the norm, it is definitely a challenging time period.
