There's a lot of emotion, but not a lot of data (in the original article, or in our discussion).

The sole data point I can think of to support his point is Richard Branson. Check out how he was raised (an extreme amount of independence/autonomy) in his biography.

That said, there are 2 serious issues in this article:

1) He assumes that millennials are more coddled than other generations. How can he prove this?

2) How can he prove that there is an inverse correlation between the amount of coddling and entrepreneurial outcomes?

Until he provides hard data, he ends up sounding like a typical social 'scientist'.

Anyways, the article provided at least one benefit for me in that it raised the question: are there things we can do as parents to help our children become more entrepreneurial?
