I would agree that many kids are over-protected. I grew up on a farm, and grew animals, and some of them didn't make it on the truck. Some died, some were killed because they weren't good enough to go on the truck, and never would be, and some, we kept for a while, fed special, and ate. And that was life.
Therapy may be needed in some cases, but probably not nearly as many as is happening. I've been taught that life isn't fair. That's just the way it is. You have to do the best you can with what you have. It seems a lot of kids aren't being taught that. Well, don't get me off on that tangent. I work in a school and see kids do things that don't make sense every day. I don't understand where it comes from. And I do remember being a kid.....
