书中自有黄金屋，书中自有颜如玉

There is no one way to cover all scenarios. Pushing has its value as well. Also learning from failure and frustration.

About 书中自有黄金屋，书中自有颜如玉, the concept is right. Need some realistic connection to relate to the children. 黄金屋 may not ring a bell, while an Oculus might be much more desirable. 颜如玉 is likely no match to a vegan and frugal girl who cheered your son's sport at school yesterday.
