America is one of the wealthiest nations on earth, and yet we are the first modern industrial nation to have made children our principal underclass.

But children whose every need is instantly gratified and who are constantly praised to the skies do not have the same sense of well-being; rather they may feel despair or rage when that gratification is withheld, or when everyone doesn't glorify them in the same way.”
