children are not fragile little mommy's babies that those overprotective i love being a mommy, moms would have you think, the evidence actually goes the other way. children are incredibly capable of adapting to independence as long as they are surrounded by supportive parents that don't treat them with cotton wool.

I'm not a helicopter parent, I have children who have far more independence than most. I fully agree with that aspect of what you're saying, children must be given room to develop, however, extended breastfeeding doesn't necessarily have anything at all to do with that philosophy.
