نبدعChildren (and adults) often say phrases like “this is not my concern, it’s not my problem!” to avoid the responsibility of finding solutions to collective problems in their environment, as a defensive method against feeling helpless and unable to face these issues individually.
Often, addressing challenges and difficulties requires teamwork skills, which parents help children develop. When children understand the value of working together, they realize it’s a way to deal with problems, as seen with the group of animals dealing with the flood and subsequent destruction.
Parents play a crucial role in supporting children to collectively face challenges with their peers, such as classmates, neighbourhood kids, soccer teams, school choirs, taking an active role, enhancing their sense of influence on their surroundings, deepening their sense of responsibility, and finally fostering a sense of belonging in different aspects of their lives.
