Thanks for your interest. Sunday, August 10, 2014. Brooks on Welfare and Character. In last week’s New York Times. David Brooks broached the highly charged topic of welfare and personal responsibility in an article entitled “The Character Factory.”.

Brooks talks about two essential features of parenting today:. Unprecedented praise and unprecedented “honing.”. He seems to be okay with the first part, in spite of the overused mantra that each child is special. It wasn’t all that much different back when we were raising children.

Thanks for your interest. Saturday, July 13, 2013. Summer is the season for family and vacation, so my focus on selling books has been set aside for the moment.
