American work addiction is an old tradition going back to the founding of the nation nearly. "Protestant work ethic meets Puritan don't let Satan keep you busyness".

Raising a child into being a good human, instead of being a good worker.

Fabs

Let me guess - most of them arent working in their first years... They are just getting addicted to stupid stuff like mobile games, sugar and so on... Isnt it? 
They need to learn to work in the very early years... It starts with two years already, putting plates in the dish washer, they love it, because it is a game to put them in correctly and so on.
Or in the woods, collecting timber, and so on  and so on...
To many parents are to busy with working, so the kids can only "play the stupid games", because they dont have a good leader...
