Wife and I are raising my wife's niece who lost bother her parents at age 11 in 2018. She, as well as anyone, knows life is unfair, cruel, and unpredictable. We've been supportive but also haven't tried to shield her from the realities of life. Stress that life is difficult so enjoy the moments you can enjoy and above all else be persistent, be able to adapt, and sacrifice when needed. She's not only persevering through this pandemic she's thriving. She's hardened by tragedy and made strong by our loving support.
Far too many Americans, especially middle to upper class, raise their children in a protective cocoon and render them wholly unable to handle adversity. Unable to persevere through stress and anxiety. Unable to have the strength and wisdom/experience needed. So they grow up, can't cope, and get thrown on all sorts of medication because they're weak.
Now, I know there are conditions people have that require medication. Legitimate conditions. But Americans dope their kids up way too much on average because many of them are soft and were never given the tools and hardened enough to handle life.
