There's one fundamental thing I'd change about the way I was brought up (80s-90s) and that is that I'd have my parents lean a lot harder on me in terms of personal achievement. I wouldn't say they coddled me, but I'd have been better off in my twenties if they'd frankly been a bit more brutal. It took the final few years of that decade to finally put the Just World Fallacy to death and prepare myself for a more motivated, satisfying lifestyle. On the plus side, I see a few parents of my generation taking a harder line with their kids than their parents likely did - I think in sensible circles at least, people are starting to see the failings of the bullshit feelgood 90s approach.
