Due to the rapid rhythm of life and demanding living conditions, the education of children and their raising, has become more practical and promotes educational development more than the development of personal well-being and emotional security. Children in modern times are often treated as adults and their own emotional maturity is discounted due to increased intelligence and the easy delivery of knowledge through technology. Adults often ignore children’s need for meaningful playtime, emotional safety and support for their evolving needs, resulting in the development of resilience, optimism and positive relationships coming secondary. Schools and up-to-date teachers could be a driving force in this change and even raise awareness among parents. Children, primarily through school and therefore through the family, can be trained to develop their personal strengths, mental resilience, optimism and positive relationships, with the ultimate and primary goal of their own well-being and positive academic progress.
