Education requires balancing freedom and responsibility: neither just inspiration of ideals nor overprotective control. Personal effort and the acquisition of firm habits are essential for maturing and not perpetuating a fragile childhood. Overprotection fosters low frustration tolerance and a narrative of vulnerability that generates psychological problems. One must learn from both good and bad examples, preparing for imperfect contexts without falling into rejection. The educators also show their own efforts: everyone educates through their daily life and must form autonomous and mature criteria.
