Have We Made The Nest Too Comfortable?

Warriors in Hope with Valerie Silveira

In modern society, there is a growing concern that we may be making our children too comfortable, hindering their ability to develop courage and confidence. Providing them with a safe and secure environment may inadvertently shelter them from challenges that could help them grow and thrive. This idea is echoed in eagles' behavior, who deliberately make their nests uncomfortable as their young ones grow. By layering their nests with sticks, thorns, and other sharp objects, eagles create a sense of discomfort that ultimately motivates their offspring to venture out and learn to fly. If we are past the point of changing this situation, there are still ways we can make a difference.
