11:41 – 11:56 (15mins)  Alvin Lui  
President of Courage Is A Habit
The online sympathy surrounding Lindsay Clancy, who killed her three young children, has exposed something much bigger about modern parenting culture,

Alvin will discuss:

• Parents today have disposable diapers, efficient appliances, grocery pickup, meal delivery, Amazon, robot vacuums, and countless other conveniences previous generations never had.
• Yet social media increasingly rewards parents for publicly documenting resentment, breakdowns, and “healing journeys” centered on how difficult their children make their lives.
• Alvin believes the reaction to the Clancy case is an extreme example of what happens when adult emotional validation begins to eclipse responsibility and the well-being of children.
• His broader concern is that this mindset also influences schools and the mental-health profession, shaping how children are taught to understand hardship, responsibility, and resilience.
