Agreed. Wish I had more time to read this. I've been struggling a lot. The best I can do is prepare them for the world, as much as I dislike having to trample their desires at the time, I know it's necessary to create an individual/citizen that can succeed in this world, and this country. I try to share as much water as I can. Every time, and I can see the eyes glaze over sometimes. So I try to simplify. Or I wait until what I feel is the "right" moment.
I greatly appreciate this thread. It brings comfort.
