 Is social media producing a generation of risk-averse children? Reclaiming America's Childhood with Brian Kilmeade. I'm not saying kids got to get hurt, but I'm saying is when kids take risks, sometimes they get hurt, and not seriously, but you twist an ankle, you break a finger. Not the end of the world is painful, but it shows you're out there having a good time, roughing it up a little bit. You learn a lot about life that way, and believe it or not, no previous generation had to deal with this.
