When the times are tough, do you breakdown or breakthrough?

It comes down to a personal decision doesn’t it?

The decision to give up (breakdown) or to breakthrough the challenges is tough in this day. I say that because we who live in North America have been babied for too long. You may be asking what I mean by babying. It is simple, and it starts with some parents. These parents are so afraid to tell their children that they have messed up. These parents also praise their children for getting good grades in school. This is wrong in my opinion because when a child attends school aren’t they supposed to do the very best possible. So if they are doing their very best and we praise them for it – it is only meant build up their egos. By building up egos for doing what they are supposed to do, it is a mistake. They begin to think that they can do no wrong. Thus when they get on their own and they are challenged it is easier for them to breakdown, because they do not have a parent that can solve their problems for them.

Do you see where I am going?

If we don’t help our children become fully functioning adults, they suffer.

Is babying them helpful?
