7 ways affluent families can raise grounded children in a world of abundance

Lindsay Hollinger, vice-president and co-founder of Granite Family Office in Westmount, Que., writes about how wealth changes the emotional environment of childhood. It softens friction, reduces limitation and increases access to comfort and convenience. Over time, this can unintentionally alter the experiences through which resilience, maturity and self-efficacy are formed.

These are not separate silos.
