The more we shelter children from every disappointment, the more devastating future disappointments will be.

Summary

This quote suggests that overprotecting and shielding children from any form of disappointment can ultimately harm them in the long run. By denying them the opportunity to experience and cope with disappointments at a young age, they may struggle to handle more substantial setbacks later in life. Instead, it is important to allow children to confront and navigate disappointments in a controlled and supportive environment so they can develop resilience and learn important life lessons that will help them cope with setbacks effectively in the future.
