This actually used to be the way of parenting until a couple of generations ago. Just stay out of kids way and they&#x27;ll figure it out. Be there to make sure they don&#x27;t kill themselves or others. But otherwise you don&#x27;t curate their lives.<p>We&#x27;re infantalizing everyone now. I was in a law school class (everyone 25+) where the federal judge lecturer called us all &quot;kids.&quot; The age of majority seems to have inflated up from 18 to around 27 in America.
