[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Interesting thoughts. You would think my students at school would experience anxiety since their families are much more unstable financially, socially, etc than these wealthy kids. There wealth is unbelievable. I had these kids for 8 weeks (most go to this private school) and the vacations they went on sounded super expensive. Fiji, private yachts in the Mediterranean, etc. You would think that level of wealth would cause kids to feel stable. They don’t need to worry if they will be evicted (like my students). [/quote] Less wealthy people are often more capable to roll with the punches, psychologically speaking. They accept as a baseline that life is unfair, that most of the time you are unable to optimize your outcomes and just have to deal with whatever comes your way. They also don’t have the bandwidth to fret over whether Johnny gets invites to the right birthday parties. [/quote]
