I think when young we have the need to be protected – we are dependent on care takers and authority figures to act as filters for us. As adults protection is often necessary when we are making big changes. This is in some tension with our need for autonomy and indpendence.
This need of protection is the topic of a guest post by me on the Psychology, Philosophy and Real Life blog. It is called The Childhood Need for Protection Isn’t Just Part of Childhood. I hope you like it, Evan
