Many are trapped by the mechanistic and dualistic reality orientation, a dictionary. Without knowing, they sustain a binary - divided, corrupt and control-fixated society. Erasing humanity in "good "faith.

What if one of the most important things you can give your children isn't something you buy them? Of course we want our children to be happy, but that doesn't mean we need to always prioritize their comfort. We need to help them become strong enough to handle life when things don't go their way. That doesn't mean raising children who never show emotion or teaching them to toughen up and ignore their feelings. It means teaching them that difficult things can be faced instead of avoided. Let them struggle with age appropriate challenges. Let them make mistakes. Let them experience disappointment. Give them responsibilities and expect them to follow through. Sometimes the easiest thing a parent can do is step in and fix a problem. But if we constantly remove every obstacle from a child's path, how are they ever going to learn how to deal with obstacles on their own? Children need to know that failure isn't the end of the world. They need to learn how to apologize when they're wrong, how to keep going when something is difficult, how to be responsible for their choices, and how to do things for themselves instead of always depending on somebody else. And perhaps most importantly, they need parents who believe they are capable. There is a big difference between protecting a child from every difficulty and preparing a child to face difficulty. The goal isn't to make childhood harder than it needs to be. Childhood should still be full of fun, laughter, encouragement, and love. But eventually those kids will grow up and face a world that won't always be kind or fair. They'll have setbacks, difficult decisions, broken hearts, failures, and responsibilities of their own. We won't always be able to protect them from those things. But we can give them the confidence and character to face them. Are we raising children who simply expect life to be easy, or are we preparing them to be strong when it isn't?
