- “How do parents provide financial security, yet create opportunities for meaningful work that leads to self-actualization? Parents have to give their children opportunities to be competent as often as possible. This means that from the time your children are able to do anything for themselves, they do it. In spite of the consideration that your family may employ full-time help, children need to be assigned specific chores for which they are responsible. These might include setting the table, cleaning their rooms, and feeding pets. Additionally, I think you must stimulate them intellectually. Talk to your children and ask for their opinions.” Wealth in Families Third Edition (Charles W. Collier) Page 45-46
