23.01.2022 From an opinion piece in The Atlantic" :...kids have always been pleasure seekers, but longtime teachers report that what were currently witnessing is different from anything we have ever seen in the young before.

Powerful stuff. Except that this quote was published in...1911"

21.01.2022 Creating a praise junkie. "Child-development specialists offer that praising children for performing well creates anticipation and pressure.

19.01.2022 The most overwhelming article Ive read in a while. Parenting advice is often so focused on how to ensure your child has a successful future. So how do you parent when your childs future extends no further than a few years, or even months?

18.01.2022 Are we letting our kids down by treating them like grown-ups (expecting them to behave at cafes, speak a second language and dress like a movie star) at the same time we take away their responsibilities (playing in the backyard on their own, riding their bike to school and making their own mistakes)?
