Overall, I tend to agree that children who are brought up in families that do not have large amounts of money are better prepared to deal with problems of adults life than children brought up by wealthy families.
The first argument that can be made in favor of the view is that children born in poor families are more likely to achieve success, because they have learned that it is difficult to make money and earn a living. As a result, they will set high goals and strive to succeed. Moreover, children living on a low family income are independent in an early age. For example, they have to compromise toys and snacks for something more necessary since the disposable allowance is limited. Therefore, a part-time job is a good choice to make money and buy something they want, which enables them to have a broaden view of life and become economically independent in a period of time. A third reason for me to support this view is that children from a poor background will have a sense of responsibility. As their parents are busy working, they have to help doing housework and work out many problems by themselves. Consequently, their interpersonal skills and independence are fostered, which is beneficial for their adults life. By contrast, children born with a silver spoon in their mouth are often spoilt and allowed to have whatever they want as well as to behave as they please, so they do not care about others’ feelings and take everything they have granted.
Admittedly, children brought by wealthy families may receive better education and be offered good job opportunities, but, since their wish are always be met, they are easily demotivated and frustrated by failure.
In summury, I do agree that children who are brought up in poor families are better prepared for the adults life.
