“The world is always the same. Always beautiful: why should we let our delight in it die? The answer to this problem lies in education.

“So about an hour later we are in the taxi shooting along empty country roads towards town. The April light is clear as an alarm.

“Children need to make mistakes and discover that it's not the end of the world. That's how they gain the confidence to try new things in life. Toxic parents impose unobtainable goals, impossible expectations, and ever-changing rules on their children.

Children are not miniature adults, but toxic parents expect them to act as if they were.”
