An old-world form of parenting was to teach the child to be seen and not heard. Although this philosophy is being phased out with new generations of parents and advancing technology, the effects and beliefs are still impacting the people of today. Young adults and Millenials are afraid to express their opinions or show off their talent. Afraid to market themselves because they would be seen as “narcissistic” by family and friends.
This lack of effort is not caused by a lack of ambition, but rather a fear of criticism.
