I will agree parents over indulge their kids but 12 yearolds with i-phone is a better example of that then three yearolds wearing helmets. Does a toddler on trike need a helmet? No but if you make him wear it then it creates the habit and a five yearold on bike does need a helmet. Playing with child on the playground is bonding not indulgence (assuming it isn't the only way they are allowed to play). Yelling at the teacher because your third grader got a F on a book report for a book he didn't read and that he wrote on the buss ride to school is over indulgence.
Over indulgence is a problem and it has created a generation of lazy narcissist who fold up like a cheap table when any pressure is put on them but lets be clear about what that overindulgence looks like.

Thanks Joel. And I agree with you that most of the time, the middle way is best.

I disagree; even to the extent that's the real problem it's still down to indulgent parents.

It's extreme indulgence, not involvement.

"Kids need to feel badly sometimes"? What should we do? Dip their fingers in acid?

It would work, and definitely put an end to all this touchy-feeliness.

I would classify editing the N-word out of Huckleberry Finn to apply to this issue...

"Undiplomatic" is one thing, "inflammatory" quite another.

If the stakes are small or there's no alternative I don't mind going with your gut.

It's a good article, but contains a bit of oversimplification.
