We live in a culture that is trying to convince all of us (and especially our children) that true happiness is a product of selfishness; of getting what you want, as quickly and as easily as possible. Left alone, children will usually favor recess over math, or candy over vegetables, or sleeping late over catching a school bus. They need adults to showing them that what they want is not always what they need, and what the need may not be the easiest thing to get, but that it will be worth it. May all of us help our children who NEED us to show them what they truly NEED, too!
