HERE'S WHAT I THINK

kids should learn how to cope

Kids are not shown how to cope.
Then as they get older they try to cope by smoking, drinking etc
If we used www.AnimalAgentz.com (a system that teaches children coping skills) to show children how to cope then children would be better off.
They might not do drugs or other activities that they do to cope with issues.
I saw a lot of students arriving at university and using drink and drugs to cope.
That's why I put my time into my PhD to help children with medical issues.
I found that the skills that children need to cope with medical issues can be the same skills they need in life for other issues?
At the moment we have kids growing up with the world giving them lots of options outside them.. As a society we should show them how to cope with the skills and abilities they have inside them.

I think it is wrong to give a 6 years old child drugs to help them do a school talk. If the child wants to do a talk let them. If they do not want to do the talk then help them learn the skills to do the talk.
If the child lacks confidence then teach them how to cope?.

In the long term they might be able to deal with bigger problems.
