By the way I think I have heard of HR issues with the latest group of college graduates. They seem to have real issues with taking critical assessment on the job. To hear a criticism seems to hit them very hard. A theory is that they have been treated so delicately that they don't know how to react positively to getting critical feedback. That could be a big problem in the workforce.
I've heard of that too. Parenting articles today warn of doling out too much praise. They advise praising children for specific things they do that are beyond typical every day stuff. Too much praise and the child comes to expect to be praised for every little thing and then cannot handle any criticism.
