Well - I would say it went wrong when we started to care too much about offending others and disciplining children. When you care more about hurting feelings at the expense of doing right/ giving people the moral compass or the tools to be a productive member of society - then you have what we have today.
Less thought should be about that childs feelings today than the outcome of there life over the next 30 years.
Plus we have let the psychiologists tell us what is good and ok rather than common sense. My grandfather's generation (WWII) didn't give a damn what some guy in a bad tie said bout how they showld do things - they just sucked it up and DEALT WITH IT!
JMHO
