I feel like they are being taught to cope. Telling people with severe anxiety to "Grow up" or "Get over it" teaches them nothing except that their fears aren't valid. Besides, it was such a small turnout in each of those groups, like 20 people. The rest of these kids are fine.

I think it's bigger than that. I agree that he did nothing to stop it. He probably even furthered it, but I think it's broader than "safe spaces" or puppies and crayons. There are a lot of things going on that are reminiscent of the 1960s.

Maj John Bell - IT'S SO WRINKLY AND LOOKS SO SMOOSHABLE! I need this puppy.

SSG Jessica Bautista & SGT (Join to see) - Just keep in mind that as adults they walk around with six inch slime strings hanging from their mouths almost non-stop. When he does a head shake mine has an uncanny knack for hitting my coffee cup (nothing but net) or cinnamon toast.

Maj John Bell - Ok maybe I should have been more specific- lol Alaskan Husky please :)

SGT (Join to see) - Having lived in Alaska for the better part of 20 years, I'll let you have your Alaskan Husky. I'm partial to Shetland Sheepdogs. They're very easy to train. The one I have now will be 2-y/o in January and (sadly) no longer a puppy. However, Shelties are "people dogs." Based on experience with past Shelties, this guy will continue to have some puppy-like characteristics until he is at least 7-y/o. That's about the age they start to mellow out. They're still very friendly and always up for a good game of fetch. They just don't drop a pile of toys at your feet until you agree to play. Hopefully, mine will stop approaching strangers for pats by that age. The breed standard says he should be "initially reserved, but warm up quickly." This is definitely not my dog!
