The wussification of American children is a relatively recent phenomenon, but a very real one. We pamper our kids, over-schedule them, overemphasize fairness in competition (the score ends in a tie … again!) and keep them indoors too much, to the point that we’re doing them a huge disservice. Kids aren’t learning how to get hurt, lose, fend for themselves, find their balance and discover minor dangers on their own - all important parts of growing up.

Posts like this are why I read Seth Godin’s blog. Add passion, and it’s nearly complete.

An interesting twist - absorption rate versus “sales rate” - this will likely find its way into my data analysis of the Charlottesville market soon.
