It doesn't take a village to raise a kid.
Instead, it's our moral responsibility to preserve the "village" and teach a kid that he/she is a part of the village and not a lone "hero".
These are seeds to develop gratitude and humility.
Lone "hero" syndrome transforms kids into the omnipresent "legend in their own mind" adults.
It's better to compliment a kid with a timeless phrase - "hard working" and avoid the word "smart" like plaque.
Smartness translates into a miraculous innate "gift" while hard work translates into life long compounding effect to be a better living being.
