It is said that
children
raised by
parents
who are not as rich are more adaptable to difficulties in their adulthood than those growing up in wealthy households. Generally, despite the many advantages stemming from being financially superior, I tend to agree with
this
view.
It is true that individuals reared in financially advantaged
families
are generally more well-resourced and open-minded than those brought up by
parents
who generally could not provide the comparable social and financial resources for the development of
such
traits. Their visions and connections brought by their wealthy
families
are likely to give them a jump start in their adult lives and assist them in resolving
problems
they encounter.
In contrast
, those from
families
with financial constraints often find it hard to escape adversities due to the lack of
such
boosts and support.
Moreover
, when wealthy
children
acquire sophisticated and well-rounded ways of being and doing alongside their
parents
or in prestigious schools, the perspectives of individuals from deprived households tend to be constrained as they are preoccupied with meeting their basic needs.
As a result
, it is likely that adults of wealthy
parents
are better at resolving
problems
and challenges as they could form more comprehensive and bigger pictures of the situations.
Nevertheless
, the key to problem-solving skills, in my opinion, is being creative and resilient, which is usually the common characteristic of people growing up in adversity. In spite of the possible lacking resources and visions,
children
raised by
parents
with limited financial ability are likely to experience difficulties early on and
therefore
become more independent and resilient.
Such
experience
also
sharpens
children
’s problem-solving skills as they have to be creative and deal with matters that frequently occur among disadvantaged people. With independence and resilience, an individual is likely to be proactive and persist when confronted with
problems
and resolve those
problems
on the fly with their sophisticated problem-solving skills, while their richer peers might fail to do so as they are pampered with everything sorted out for them.
In conclusion,
although
I agree that
children
of wealthy
families
have advantages in their future development with external social and financial support
that is
usually unavailable to the offspring of the poor, I would argue that those from deprived
families
are likely to be better at solving
problems
with their intrinsic personal traits and problem-solving experiences gained in their upbringing.
