Another great story, makes me think back how I was raised. We, Marilyn and I think we did the right thing raising our boys and we pray it is passed down to their children. Yet I am concerned they loosened the grip a little, they ended up a little when it came to car buying. We did not buy our boys a car for example, they had to work for it. Again, thank you Steve, we love you.
As a great grandparent who just experienced Christmas with five little ones, what you describe is so true!!! I’ll be recommending the book to my grandchildren!

Wow great timing and great reminder! Thanks for saying it so well- with a firm, gentle voice that reminds me of Aslan! good, but maybe not safe:-)
Beyond being addictive, these dopamine dispensers act as balms to convicting consciences and thieves of ambition.
The Self Driven Child by Dr. Stixrud is another good read on the topic.
Got the Anxious Generation for Christmas. It was a very good book.
Guilty grandparent here….thank you for the insight.
