Dare I say, we did more, because, first we could and wanted to show ourselves that we could.
What a lovely post, I think, you dared to do it and who dares wins. So in practice, you made them go through all the adventures at an very early age, which they enjoyed even though it was difficult (but they didn't realize), and that helped them grow better. In fact it's best to take them through hardship from age five, with we being with them and encouraging. By ten, they would grow to be responsible, like said by Chanakya.
Thank you!
Yes I am glad it worked out so far. My older will head to high school next year. We will see what the future holds for us :)
I am sure, the foundation will last long for her entire life. Even though my son was sick, I have done the best that I could and I can see it reflects on him now as well.
