Lost in the utopian suburbia

Well, I haven't spent muchtime posting lately, but partially it has to do with the great adventure of raising three small boys.

Why is it we in the great utopian suburbia want our children to experience life so deeply that we push them in 10,000 directions to the point where they cannot stay focused, cannot find their inner peace or the centered-ness. Rather they find their self-centered-ness. It is after all, "All About Me". If only it weren't so.

The are so overprogrammed that become to believe that we are here to provide for them. Which we undoubtedly are, but we also need to provide for them a sense of self. A self-sufficiency that will bouy them through their adult lives. I am currently at a loss. I do not have the knowledge to determine how to influence your child to become more self sufficient.

Lost in the utopian suburbia of my own mind, I cannot find the key to let my true son out of the trap I have set for him.
