"Parents today shield their children from any kind of disappointment. Managing disappointment and other difficult emotions is an important life skill. But some parents can't handle seeing their child sad."
"Parents do everything for their kids, from tying their shoes to getting them snacks to cleaning up after them, and more. Kids need to learn (and I have found that they want to learn) how to be more self-sufficient."
"Skill levels are lower than they used to be. High school teachers are exhausted by being blamed and just pass kids not to have to deal with parents. Kids need to be taught to take responsibility and be held accountable. It doesn't mean they are bad if they make mistakes; it just means they must learn and grow. Parents are not teaching this."
