Sample Key Takeaways from Introduction and Chapter 1

Number One

The word “coddling” means overprotecting. Today’s youth face many problems and a lot of pressure, and they are not responsible for those problems, nor are they spoiled or lazy. However, adults are overprotecting them and preventing them from finding solutions for their problems.

Number Two

In the early 1990s kids began increasingly suffering from peanut allergies, schools began banning peanuts, and parents forbade their children from having any. However, as it turns out, this in itself resulted in a boom of peanut allergy.

Number Three

When you are not exposed to a substance as a child, your body is more likely to see it as a threat if you ingest it when you are older. This is why allergies are much more prevalent in ultra-hygienic first world countries than third world countries.
