We have two (nominally) grown children so please take my views as coming from that special place. I think each parent learns at some point that at some point, kids will have to make their own way, meaning come to their own conclusions about which parts of the world are worth accepting and which parts are worth rejecting. In other words, parent’s don’t have much control over their kids after a certain point. Is this “medium” individualism or something different. I guess my philosophy of parenting is to be sure that my kids are in a position to make as many choices as possible without being overly constrained by material pressures.
Last, let me suggest here that books like the one discussed here often seem to flatten people’s views into relatively narrow categories when by my experience their opinions are “complicated.”
