It’s partially a function of how we’ve raised them. Many grew up hearing how “special” they were.
It turns out that most kids aren’t really special.
And, following their “passion” is a fast-track to a lifetime of making caramel macchiatos at Starbucks. Because no matter how special your kid may seem, they aren’t likely to be the next Tom Brady or Taylor Swift.

Nah, let's blame them for wanting to be more @sociology
People of all ages are much happier in societies where 1% of the population isn't allowed to control 99% of the wealth AND where authoritarians aren't in power. But no, let's blame people for wanting to thrive and follow their passions, THAT'S the problem!
