Since recent findings have shown that skill mastery can be gained after approximately 10,000 hours of deep practice, parents have started their children at very young ages working with them to attain certain skills. Whether it's sports, music, or math... the extracurricular development of children has become a multi-billion dollar industry. But what does this say about the work we must do in developing the morals of our children? Do we spend the same amount of time teaching ethics to them as we do how to throw a curve ball or how to play their scales? It's something to think about. We want our children to grow up skilled, but more importantly, we want them to be wise and morally sound. It requires the same sort of investment of time, effort, and resources... are we willing?
