Celebrating “kindergarten graduation” is only about the vanity of the parents and is otherwise idiotic & meaningless.

See, this here is exactly the issue...the belief that preparing children across all ages to manage expectations prepare them for the world ahead of them automatically means throwing them into the fire.

Just be aware you are literally arguing with countless doctorate holding psychologist who have done these studies and proven the link...you arent arguing with me.

Kindergarten is not an accomplishment, its essentially teaching children that showing up is worth a reward...and its not. You are saying

"don't throw your kids to the fire"

Yet, the most "throw to the fire" thing you can do, is teach your children a narrative that isn't real and will collapse upon entering the real world. Child development doesn't start when you feel you are ready. The first five to ten years of your child's life are some of the most important developmental years of their entire lives.
