You assume in your article that parents criticize their kids too often and too harshly, which therefore creates a sort of instinctual and unconscious revulsion to criticism when those children become adults (and yet as adults they are driven to be almost equally as critical of others). I can say that my childhood experience was quite the opposite, but I feel equally as troubled in adulthood (i.e. having unresolved emotional issues from my past). My parents attempted to shield my sisters and I from criticism altogether by sort of subtly creating a home environment in which all criticism was bad and negative. We're getting into semantics by me saying there can be positive criticism (when you call it honest "feedback") but, basically, I feel that addressing criticism should be an essential component of the home environment because children need to be prepared for the harsh world that awaits them. Today, for instance, I feel a deep unconsious distrust of my parents' opinions of me and other things because of their lifelong bias against criticism in all its forms.
