Personal Experience: This Rich Kid

When I was walking with some of my friends during the excursion to a nearby school, I found myself in three worlds, elite, middle class, and the masses. For me, I belong to these three. Because values ​​and etiquette - in contemporary and relative world - teaching in elite, sympathy and understanding in classmate education, satisfaction and self-respect at the lower grade level teaching classes ... ... masses. Regardless of that background, I think that it has a special influence on all three lifestyles.

My child is not a special genius. The world we live in is the richest resources, information and opportunities in human history. If the children are free to keep in touch with the world and obey their curiosity and internal goals, they will encounter more diverse ideas and experiences than we think. When trying to teach these things directly to the children, they sigh, laugh, or turn around or play, ask for help, hopefully they can finally escape my wisdom It is. Indeed, unless we actively try to restrain it, our children's requests for learning, experimentation, innovation, creativity and adaptation will bear fruit. This suppression usually takes the form of a good meaning, such as direct and mandatory guidance of adult "experts" who do not mostly understand the background of Mario Makers and other children's real concerns . It takes the form of classroom and textbooks, tests and pressure to draw professional interests

Psychologists and economists have realized that relying on college students in their experiments produces erroneous results. Because they are built on the Western, educated, industrialized, wealthy and democratic (WEIRD) society. These participants accounted for 80% of the research participants, but only 12% of the world's population. Every year, the wind from the Sahara brings 28 million tons of dust (the value of 100,000 trucks) to the Amazon basin across the Atlantic Ocean. Some of the dust from the ancient lake bottom of Chad contains phosphorus, an important nutrient for trees of the Amazon rainforest.

The main thing I want for my children is that wealth is not necessarily an eternal country. Of course, according to research, rich people will be rich. However, most people are studying 1%. He is not the one who debuted $ 8 Uber for the exhausted children. My own life is a roller coaster for all kinds of financial situation. I was poor, then wealthy, poor, wealthy. My child's "rich" is not a private jet or yacht; this is an extracurricular activity, the coolest super hero T-shirt, a holiday, the most important is the time two parents really participate in their lives There is a spiritual space. This is Ubers and guitar lessons, art and the "purchase" of movies they want to see.
