Conservative millennial author Ben Domenech sees these trends as a "triumph of soft conservatism over time," but also as "another aspect of modern risk aversion." That latter trend is also apparent in the decline in unsupervised play for children and removal of jungle gyms and slides from playgrounds.

"Conservative millennial author"? This business of taking away the fun of childhood is not conservatism of any sort. If this is the direction conservatism is going, then I want no part of it.

I don’t think the author was suggesting that “conservative millennial” Ben Domenech supported extreme risk aversion, only that he observed it.
