We are not pointing fingers, passing the blame, or making accusations... In fact, we couldn't becuase we are all in this, as "the village" surrounding our children, but lets be honest for a minute: we may be doing "too much" while not doing enough, all at the same time! This is a great To-Do list to help streamline our efforts, making sure that they are purposeful in all the right ways: https://www.yourmodernfamily.com/how-to-un-spoil-a-child/
