Parents and experts are pushing back against today's level of organized play, and the safety precautions around that play. From hyper-padded playgrounds to parents being arrested for letting their children play alone, some assert that in the US, we may have gone too far in protecting kids, and thus draining their creativity and self-sufficiency in the process.

Parents undoubtedly want their kids to be safe, but recent reports suggest that much of the perceived danger parents worry about for kids is overblown by media reports.
