I think the current day complaints seem to be the reverse. That kids are more anxious than ever, more lonely, more mental health problems, less freedom for unstructured play and independence, less "slack" in the system, strong expectations and competition and overscheduled life, helicopter parenting, etc. etc. Of course nobody has a comprehensive proposal to address it because it's all an aggregate effect of individually well-intentioned decisions to promote safety etc., and many of those decisions are interrelated with other consequences around this nexus.
