We are consumed with protecting them instead of preparing them for the future. We havent let them fall, fail and fear. The problem is that if they dont take risks early on like climbing the monkey bars and possibly falling off, they are fearful of every new endeavor at age 29. ^^ this. Rounding off every corner of your childs world, not allowing them to fail, to suffer consequences, to learn cause and effect, leads to a child who expects to be an instant star, an effortless success. Parents today fail to teach children the benefits of if at first you dont succeed..., choosing instead to guarantee a feeling of achievement with nobody fails and participation ribbons. I get apprehensive when I contemplate these self-important, entitled people eventually running the world.
