The children of the 1970s were free to roam and to acquire grit in the real world by trial and error which most helicopter parents of the present generation would skip. Instead, in those days, being instructed to come home before the streetlights come on implied hours of unmonitored adventure, lessons in self-reliance that were considered natural to Boomers.
