Study on Kids Who Lived Through the Depression

A study on children who lived through the Great Depression showed that those from the deprived middle class, who faced adversity by taking extra jobs and wearing hand-me-downs, emerged as the strongest and happiest individuals. The resilience gained from overcoming challenges and experiencing hardship led to a deep sense of gratitude and happiness. It was observed that focusing on making children happy may not necessarily result in their overall strength or happiness; instead, building resilience through facing and overcoming adversity is crucial for their well-being.
