Thought of the Day
This is a problem, of course, for all parents, not just affluent ones. It is a central paradox of contemporary parenting, in fact: we have an acute, almost biological impulse to provide for our children, to give them everything they want and need, to protect them from dangers and discomforts both large and small. And yet we all know — on some level, at least — that what kids need more than anything is a little hardship: some challenge, some deprivation that they can overcome, even if just to prove to themselves that they can.
PS I think we live in a world where there is too much of everything (except some natural resources). In this kind of envoirment you need to be different to have a chance. If you are a commodity you will be without job. In this situation we need to provide for a different education for our children. If they do the same as everyone they will be a commodity (Commodity = many are like them and can be replaced with no diferrence) and they will have a difficult life.
