The hidden secret in our community of
abundance is anxiety.
In an insecure and competitive world, we often overindulge our kids
materially and spoil them emotionally in order to calm our own nerves and
keep our kids on top. As they get older and the problems get larger, we
sometimes wonder if we’ve fallen into a trap created out of our own good
intentions. Our kids may possess a thick layer of skills and be trained
to compete and excel, but are they kind? Sensitive? Empathic? Self
reliant? How can we develop our own inner confidence to take what’s
valuable in our culture without being wholly consumed, and raise
teenagers who care?
