[quote=Anonymous]I've heard many moms say they want their kids to be happy. Perhaps in the DC area, parents want their kid to be "the best" - whatever that is - maybe the top in the class, best flutist, best basketball player.... Here's an 18 minute thought-provoking video. The parenting section of the bookstore is overwhelming—it's "a giant, candy-colored monument to our collective panic," as writer Jennifer Senior puts it. Why is parenthood filled with so much anxiety? Because the goal of modern, middle-class parents—to raise happy children—is so elusive. In this honest talk, she offers some kinder and more achievable aims. https://www.ted.com/talks/jennifer_senior_for_parents_happiness_is_a_very_high_bar#t-570281[/quote]
