Scottish wisdom about how overprotective parenting creates "foie gras kids" - children force-fed comfort and safety until they can't handle basic life challenges. Learn why the "better life" obsession is destroying children's natural resilience.
Like foie gras ducks force-fed until their livers are diseased, we're force-feeding our kids comfort until their coping mechanisms are completely damaged. These bubble-wrapped children become adults who crumble at the first real difficulty.
Real strength comes from facing age-appropriate challenges, not from being shielded from every possible discomfort. We're creating beautiful, fragile creatures who can't survive in the real world.
Your Challenge This Week: If you have children in your life, let them face some age-appropriate challenges instead of solving every problem for them. Build resilience, not foie gras dependency.
From someone who believes strong adults come from challenged children, not force-fed ones. Stop creating beautiful, useless creatures who can't handle real life.
