Haidt critiques this approach as part of a broader trend toward overprotectiveness that began in the 1980s and accelerated in the 1990s. This trend led to a decline in free, unsupervised play, which is essential for developing resilience and coping skills. Haidt argues that this overprotection, combined with the rise of digital technology, has contributed to a "Great Rewiring of Childhood," leaving children ill-prepared for the challenges of adulthood Haidt suggests that to counteract these trends, parents should encourage more independent play and allow children to experience and overcome challenges on their own. He also advocates for collective action, where communities and schools work together to support children's development and well-being.• The Problem of Being and Destiny - Leon DenisLéon Denis, a prominent French Spiritist philosopher, explores the concept that the soul is the author of its own destiny in his work Le Problème de l'Être et de la Destinée (The Problem of Being and Destiny). In this text, Denis delves into the nature of the soul, its evolution, and its role in shaping its own future through successive lives. He emphasizes that the soul's moral and intellectual development is self-directed, influenced by its choices and actions across lifetimes.
