Parents - Overprotective Parenting vs Building Courage in Kids

To my community who have kids. I'm working on an article about how we have focused on making childhood easy which, effectively makes adulthood harder. Does anyone have anecdotal thoughts about why we want kids to be courageous, yet we spend so much time protecting them from the moments that require courage? Feel free to DM me or if you are feeling courageous enough, comment, share and let's get a conversation going!
