Without affecting their confidence and morale too much by doing so.

And this is how we get "snowflakes" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake_(s...

If you take care of their sensitivity so much, how will they deal with serious problems in the future?

I do not mean that you can yell and swear at employees. But do not be afraid to be strict, because this is a job, not a kindergarten. And if a junior starts complaining about "toxicity" just because of direct criticism, then he may not belong in this profession, and he needs to look for a less stressful job. I personally would not want squeamish and pampered people to write life-critical software.
