Last fall I read an online article in the Huffington Post about a father from London who wrote an eight paragraph email to his three children. In his email he thought about his parenting style and took responsibility for his children’s failures albeit he provided them with a stable home and a proper education. He went on to say that by sitting on the sidelines and adopting a “fashionable philosophy of not interfering, letting our children find themselves” may have led to the choices that now plague their lives and label them, at least in their father’s view, as failures.
