How to Land Your Kid in Therapy
This is a very interesting (and long) article. I'm a sucker for these kinds of articles. It makes me want to go back to school for a degree in psychology and spend my days doing research on this kind of stuff. However, I'm not sure there's a market for a marine biologist-computer engineer-psychologist. Just guessing.
This is something David and I worry about. We didn't grow up being handed things. We are, however, in the very fortunate position to be able to give our kid(s) just about anything they could want, whether that be things, opportunities, or whatever. We worry about finding the right balance.
When I hear about some people's kids, I just cringe. For example, a kid who's failing out of college because of (underage) drinking and partying, getting arrested for altercations at bars, doesn't have a job... and guess what. Mommy and Daddy are still paying tuition and all his bills. That makes me shake my head and say, "kids these days..." Am I really that old?
I hope David and I can find a good balance and only minimally screw Evan up while turning him into a productive member of society.
