Focusing on the Potential

In a world filled with negativity and evil, the challenge of raising kids becomes daunting. However, the poet Maggie Smith suggests a simple yet powerful solution: not exposing children to the awful things and people. It's not about lying; it's about choosing to focus on the potential. By selling them on hope, agency, confidence, and duty, parents can instill in their children a belief that they can make a difference and be the change they want to see in the world. The role of parents is to sell children on the 'good bones' of the world and what they can achieve with it.
