Babies who are placed in sterile environments for extended
periods of time are actually more vulnerable to germs and allergies. They are less robust and less resilient. The point is that it is not healthy for us to
be in protected cocoons all the time.
Parents who over-protect their children do them no favors. We have to get out and mix it up, take a few
spills, deal with difficult realities, and get some dirt under our
fingernails. This helps us to develop
toughness and resilience. And it’s part
of living life.
