It is true that all children are special, simply because they are children. But most adults are
not special, and children end up as adults pretty quickly. Life then can be difficult and even
disappointing. The shock of this may account for the emergence of the “snowflake
generation” of university students, who are so delicate they can‟t handle controversial ideas
being put forward in their lectures. The roots of this fragility run deep in modern culture. So,
an approach of the world that states: “Life is wonderful, you‟re special and, if you are a good
boy/girl, life will be amazing forever” is not a message designed to aid bouncing back from
failure or confronting catastrophe. Resilience is not about feeding ego – telling your children
how wonderful they are – but strengthening it.
