标题[请益] 几个问题...

1. 作者简介了1989年在美国出版的一本教养书籍，并且引述部分内容：
"Personal space is expanding for the eight-year-old.
Your child can now
walk home by bus from a somewhat distant point.
His walking area within his own neighborhood is so wide that
it is sometimes hard to locate him."
请问，这里的 walk home by bus 应该是...... 印错了吗？？
2. 作者对另一本教养书籍的简介：
Using a droll tone --
"most teenager disobedience lies in the realm of sleaze and deception"
(rather than direct disobedience) --
Dr. Wolf helps parents interpret teenager's unique style of communication
and explains what to do once you understand their messages.
droll的意思是 "amusing, but not in a way that you expect"
可是我看不出来
"most teenager disobedience lies in the realm of sleaze and deception"
这句话里面，
哪里有 "amusing, but not in a way that you expect" 这种意思呀？o_O
有人可以指点一下吗？
3. 父母太过保护孩子，反而会让小孩学不到因应的能力：
Real protection means teaching children to manage risks on their own,
not shielding them from every hazard. Worrying excessively about
discrimination (上文讲到的例子是学校办了性倾向工作坊，要求学童尊重不同
性倾向的同学) while not letting your children walk around the block
on their own can create
highly conscious cripples. If pressed to stand up
for what they have been taught to believe, I fear that most of the children
we are raising wouldn't behave like Ruby Bridges (1960年，Ruby Bridges
才六岁大就在纽奥良发起一场废除种族隔离的活动). They wouldn't have the will
to be courageous, and perhaps more important, they wouldn't have the
support of their parents.
请问，
这里的 highly conscious cripples
是指 "有自知之明"的残废 之类的意思吗？
(因为这样子教出来的孩子会自认为什麽都做不到？)
谢谢！！
