Interesting observation, Jasper, and I totally agree. You don't build muscles by sitting on a couch and doing nothing. Hard work builds both real and psychic muscles, and we need both kinds to survive and prosper. Challenge for kids is what helps them learn and grow, not making it easier for them. Oh, well, maybe we can each teach our own children and grandchildren since the schools don't seem able to.
Happy Thanksgiving- we certainly do have an enormous amount to be thankful for!
