But at least we built a lot of value for the shareholders
I keep telling my daughter she’s likely to see society collapse during her lifetime.
It’s better she is prepared for it than to be caught by surprise, as so many others will be.
I get not being ignorant of upcoming issues but I doubt she forgot. Probably don’t need to repeatedly reminder her, ratcheting stress
Depends how you look at it. Knowing things have a high likelihood of getting bad helps her focus on skills that are not dependant on a thriving and stable society.
Besides that, she is a well adjusted teenager, who is happy with life, has good friends and recognizes unhealthy behaviour in others.
As with everything else I teach her, this is just a small part of the whole that allows her to keep thriving in this world, while maintaining good mental health. I think most people would consider themselves blessed to have a teenage girl this well adjusted.
Protecting children from the truth is the unhealthy approach. You don’t doom and gloom it, you explain it it calm rational. There is a method to the healthy sharing of information that doesn’t crush a person’s psyche.
Right. I’m not saying “protect from the truth” I’m just saying non-adult minds do not work like ours and one should be very cautious to not impart constant underlying stressors, as we cant perceive how they are consumed. Children don’t have the same “rational” capacity adults do
It sounds like you have a healthy dialog, so I’m just chatting.
