Are you sick of sports games not keeping score (while all the parents and coaches do)? Do you get report cards like my son, where they refuse to use letter grades and dissect every category, like English and Science, into fifty subcategories? It just becomes a confusing mess right?
And the purpose of this is to shelter our children who need to learn that the world is competitive and everyone can't be great at everything. By not allowing failure, kids never become motivated to seek success, and then the real world hurts all the more.
So let Red Riding Hood's Grandma get eaten by the wolf, have the Huntsman chop the evil beast open, and allow our kids the good with the bad (joy with fear, winning with losing, laughing with crying) - it builds character and will create a better generation of adults!
