"It's not our job to toughen our children up to face a cruel and heartless world. It's our job to raise children who will make the world a little less cruel and heartless.” ― L.R. Knost

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I love this site because people can parse the bejeebus out of anything, which is a good thing as far as I'm concerned. I think Knost phrased it in a way to make the most impact. As such, I kinda feel in the first sentence the word "exclusively" would be implied, and in the second sentence, so would, "in addition to toughening them up."
That's how I read it at least.

It's our job to teach how they learn not what they learn

It isn’t an either/or scenario.... we should teach our children the realities of life as well as the responsibilities. Be kind to all creatures, human and wildlife....but also be aware that others will not always have the same philosophy.
