Sometimes we say, as parents of grown children, "When will these kids ever learn?"
But I would counter this by saying to ourselves, "When will WE ever learn?"
Learn that sometimes (oftentimes?) it is more important to let our kids suffer and hurt and experience the agonies of life rather than to offer them the advice, wisdom and tools to navigate through or around such suffering.
To really learn something, some people just have to figure it out, no matter how painful the process is.
