Yep, this is probably brothers thinking. OP try telling him youll sell the house but for an insane amount of money.

About contemporary artist THE KIDAlready internationally recognized for his thought-provoking and socially committed body of artworks, THE KID is a natural-born citizen of the world and a self-educated multidisciplinary contemporary artist, who hijacks traditional technics of the old European Masters -drawing, painting and sculpture- to question the social issues facing contemporary youth today and even more tomorrow in our polarized world of the 21 st century, such as the social determinism, the ever-threatened civil rights, the inequality of opportunity or the thin frontier between innocence and corruption for today’s youth. Future has called his mini-me 'life.'Youthful portraits attract visitors with beauty and the perception of a bright future. However, on close examination, cuts and bruises reveal a darker side of reality.

But it robs our kids of the opportunity to learn that they can manage. How do kids build those if they don’t have a lot of practice in age-appropriate, small challenges?I think we parents do this because we’re nervous ourselves, right? Plus, it’s much easier to give in, especially when a child is distressed. The reason that these programs are so popular right now is that so many parents are willing to accommodate to their child in all the wrong ways.If your kid says, “I don’t want to go to a sleepover, because I won’t know the kids there and I’ll have to sleep in a strange bed,” and you say, “OK, you don’t have to go,” or your kid tells you the dog across the street scares them because he barks loudly, and you say, “Well, we can walk the other way we don’t have to pass the dog,” those kinds of accommodations get in the way of your kid building resilience and competence. They haven’t learned how to get on in the world—how to make a bed, how to talk with somebody who’s angry. So, what are they and why are they different?They’re programs for kids who in many ways have been protected from learning how to manage their feelings and their lives.

If these aren’t emphasized at school, what can parents do?ML: Well, first parents have to believe that the skills aren’t just nice add-ons. But too often those experiences are missing for kids whom we’re calling “emerging adults.”JS: Your book mentions foundational skills that parents can teach their kids—like communication, empathy, collaboration, and humility. Learning that you will be rejected at some point in life and can tolerate it, learn from it, and pick yourself up again is important for resilience.

Do something that makes this a better world, and model that for your kids. You can ask, “What did you learn today?” or “What are you struggling with?”Also, instead of sitting every single weekend and watching your kids play soccer or lacrosse, you should be involved in your community. No kid who’s been in my office has ever said to me, “You know, my parents listened too much.” We can model curiosity, so that becomes a value that is important to them. Instead of asking your kid, “What grades did you get?,” you ask, “How was that test?” or “How was your day?” The emphasis on performance tells your kids that that’s the only thing that really matters.Another thing we can do is listen better.

They can’t tell me what to do!” Now, that’s sort of petered out in the last five to seven years, and kids tell me that there’s nothing they can do it’s just the way it is. Fifteen years ago, a kid would come to my office, take off their backpack and throw it on the floor, and say, “Get my parents off my back. Right now, in this moment in history, we need young people who feel they have agency, and optimists have a far greater sense of agency than people who are pessimists.I’m concerned with how passive kids have become. And it wasn’t doing my kids much good, because pessimism can lead to hopelessness, and hopelessness leads to depression. If we start modeling curiosity, independence, creativity, and the importance of working collaboratively in a group, those are the things your kid’s going to learn.JS: You write that hope and optimism are “ultimate life skills.” How can parents help kids sustain hope and optimism when they’re struggling with anxiety and dread?Ready or Not: Preparing Our Kids to Thrive in an Uncertain and Rapidly Changing World (Harper, 2020, 288 pages)ML: I’m by nature a pessimist, but I found that it wasn’t doing me much good.

Do you recommend letting them struggle through it or stepping in?ML: If your kid was an A student and suddenly he’s failing, that requires an intervention. We underestimate kids in terms of what they’re capable of learning and doing.JS: Let’s say your teenager has stopped studying and is doing poorly in school. Instead of interrupting and telling kids how to do something, which parents often do reflexively, we need to change that to say something like, “I think you can handle this” or “You’ve got this”—something that instills confidence and optimism. My own kids pointed out to me that I was always asking them, “Is everything okay?” as if I was asking, “What went wrong today?” Our language needs to change.

If they’re the kind of kid that’s heading toward college, and suddenly he loses all interest in his studies, then something’s up with him—maybe his girlfriend rejected him or he’s doing substances or he’s no longer on the traveling lacrosse team. I need some help.” You don’t rush in you watch your kid to see what’s going on with them. Hopefully you wait for a child to say, “I’m having trouble with this. There’s no greater vote of no confidence than to give a school half a million dollars because you don’t think your kid will get in.If you’re going to err on one side or the other, you err on the side of restraint. Look at the Varsity Blues Scandal—the parents paying huge amounts of money to get their kids into colleges. Sure, it may warrant some discussion, but don’t forget that damage can be done by interventions that are unnecessary.

I asked him, “What’s your responsibility in this?” and he said, “It’s not my responsibility.”I understand that he’s an engineer, not an ethicist, but I walked away from the whole process really concerned about the silo-ing of moral responsibility around things with potentially enormous consequences. Yes, it was a privilege to spend time with him, but then I mentioned that some of the girls I treat had gone on YouTube to learn how to more effectively cut their wrists. I spent a day at Google with Peter Norvig, the head of research, and it was distressing to me. What are the points of that compass and how do parents help their children to learn those?ML: That idea came very specifically out of speaking with so many people in the tech world. We often intervene because of our own anxiety, but really we just need a much bigger vision for our kids for what a successful life looks like.JS: You write about children needing a well-developed moral compass.
