Annie, the summary of how to interact and raise one's child is greatly appreciated. I have two very independent children engaged in society and did many of the things you've referenced. One of my best themes was when asked for something, I'd play the Rolling Stones, "You Can't Always Get What You Want..." and to this day they both thank me for the reality of their upbringing!
Your point about SEL training in classrooms caught my attention. We are seeing the effects of this within our company. We have managers in their 30’s who grew up in this environment. They now use the same therapy techniques with their teams and coddle them, and it’s not conducive to success.

Wonderful to see how adult children actually do go back and thank their parents for not coddling and spoiling them, isn't it?!
This is just wonderful. Well written and so engaging.
Thank you!
So many wonderful thoughts and ideas! Thank you.
Aw, thank you!

That's fascinating! Really brings home the outcomes of all the therapy, etc. that Abigail Shrier's book talks about.
