[quote=Anonymous]I was listening to a podcast by a child psychologist and she said that it was kids in high achieving schools (like TJ and McLean and others around here) were now almost equally as likely to have suicidal ideations and severe mental health problems as kids who experienced extreme trauma. How incredibly sad! We have done that to our kids by pushing this super over competitive lifestyle on them. There is no room for failure, for being less than perfect from a very young age. I have a friend who is a child psychologist and did therapy sessions with kids in Fairfax county. She said it was some of the saddest cases she has had to deal with because you have all these kids with so much privilege but yet have sooo many problems. It makes me want to leave the NoVA area and raise my kids elsewhere. [/quote]
