Actually, the correct way to prevent friction is to not give birth to them in the first place. But given that you have already made the mistake of doing so, reducing their friction (so long as doing so does not increase the friction of someone else who never asked to be born) is your duty.
Galloway positively wants bullying in schools. (This attitude is actually the pre-Counterculture-era Western norm.)
I suggest imagining how much better the world would be if the Pea Princess were the ruler. Imagine how much more quickly she would have noticed global warming, for example!
And for those who want to dismiss my point by saying she is fictional, here is a historical figure who was a product of bulldozer parenting:

The result:
Of course Galloway does not want more people reaching this conclusion. Back to first link:
And if everyone behaves like Galloway recommends, everyone's increased competitiveness cancels out so that no one is more successful, but everyone has eaten ****.
You become like Galloway instead of like Siddhartha. And that is supposed to be an improvement?

Galloway takes issue with what he calls “concierge" or "bulldozer" parenting.

Prince Siddhārtha's father and rāja of the Śākya (Pali: Sakya) clan Śuddhodana (Pali: Suddhodana) did not allow him to see death or suffering, and distracted him with luxury to prevent him from worrying and becoming interested in the religious life.[21][22] The early texts and post-canonical biographies describe in much detail how the raja's son lived in great luxury.[23] Śuddhodana provided him with three palaces in Kapilavastu (Pali: Kapilvatthu) for the summer, winter and monsoon, as well as many female attendants to distract him.[24]

During his childhood, the prince had his first experience of meditation sitting under a Jambu tree during the Royal Ploughing Ceremony.[25] In some later texts, this is extensively described, explaining how the young prince looked at the animals on the courtyard eating each other, and him realizing the suffering (Sanskrit: duḥkha, Pali: dukkha) inherent in all existence.
