I don't think that "coddling" is the right word. Kids today are suffocatingly controlled compared to previous generations, it's called "coddling" because their parents think that they're doing it with their kid's best interests at heart, but it's stunting them.
This is the first generation that has grown up with a literal link to their parents in their pocket, great in emergencies, but it's almost like a leash that previous generations didn't have.
Then there's the huge section of kids who were put on meds rather than trying to work though their problems like what would've been done in previous generations... and single parents/lack of parental involvement.
