A quote from the book The Courage to be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga reads, “Children who have not been taught to confront challenges will try to avoid all challenges.” What is Creator’s perspective?

This is a useful tutorial in the need for children to become road-ready for life, to be toughened up, to be seasoned, and to grow muscles in many ways to stand up to confrontation and inappropriate manipulation, whether physical or emotional. Often, the strong will prey on the weak if they learn it is to their advantage to dominate, and thus, by coming out on top, gaining safety and security as well as a sense of accomplishment. While the winners of such a contest may grow hardened in their bullying of others and may well continue it lifelong, their victims, cast aside and forgotten largely, may well be damaged for life and the karmic penalty for that perpetrator will be ever growing and ultimately become their undoing. Children need careful oversight and helpful guidance in dealing with adversity so they develop self-confidence and grow the muscles needed to stand strong and, if necessary, put up a good fight to deter being pushed around and thereby diminished through humiliation and a loss of self-respect. Here again is a discussion fitting perfectly within the idea of divine alignment representing inner balance, a kind of peace through strength on an emotional level. Standing strong requires being poised, under self-control, in order to deflect negativity and thereby hold one's own. Oftentimes, when a would-be victim refuses to give in and surrender, a bully will move on, looking for an easier target.
