What's Trending: Is your child complaining life is hard? Send them to THIS camp?
from Money Matters with Hongbin Jeong and Chua Tian Tian · host MONEY FM 89.3
Parents in China are paying thousands of dollars to send their kids to 'hardship camps' where they chop wood, dig potatoes, feed pigs and live without Wi-Fi. The idea? Teach children gratitude, discipline and the value of hard work. But when kids are crying and begging to go home, it begs the question: is a little hardship good for kids or are we taking character building way too far? On What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Nazirul Asrar break down those questions. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
