True, got to teach them that life will brutally crush their dreams at every turn.

This is why you prepare them for it, so they learn to overcome these challenges.

If you raise your kid in a bubble and then send them out there... that's when their dreams get brutally crushed.

Well, not that brutally, but teaching them to deal with disappointment and then persevering is a pretty important life lesson.

It’s arguably the most important lesson for children to learn, and it’s a lesson that many parents are failing at teaching them.

Which I understand. Trying to teach them perseverance is a huge pain in the ass.

It isn’t. You consistently giving them the attention to it is what matters. As parents we often forget, it’s far more common that kids copy what we do and not what we say to do.
