This chapter explores the difficulties parents face, focusing on the conflict between parental fatigue and maintaining a loving relationship with their children. It uses the anecdote of a father's harsh words and actions towards his son to illustrate this conflict.
The biggest challenge for parents is not how to educate their children, but how to avoid letting daily fatigue and anxiety extinguish their initial tenderness.
The child's innocence often serves as a mirror reflecting the parents' inner state.
