Our kids need to be resilient, and the time is now...

What do we most wish for our children? If we are honest with our answers, probably it is something like for them to be happy in their lives. By happiness we may mean either a life full of comfort and pleasure or one that makes full use of our child’s potential and makes him / her a mature and resilient person. We all know, to some extent, that we cannot keep our kids sheltered indefinitely, and sooner or later they will meet the ‘real world’, warts and all. It is our hope, and constant endeavour, to ensure that when that inevitable setback happens, whether it be a rejection from a prestigious college or the sustained stress/ challenge of preparing for that entrance exam, or the ‘office politics’ in the first job that disorients our kids, our kids are able to cope with that.
