Neuroses
I sometimes read about studies like this and wonder if it’s part of a conspiracy to keep me as neurotic as possible. Just when I feel like I’m doing all I can to ensure Signe’s future success in life, along comes another study about something I’m NOT doing.
And really, if I read her a book every day, breastfeed her for a full year, talk to her about other people’s feelings from the time she’s a toddler, and do all the other stuff articles like this talk about, will she grow up to be superhuman? Valedictorian of her graduating class at Harvard? A Nobel Prize winner in physics?
A girl could make herself crazy.
