Andrew Solomon wrote a wonderful article in the New Yorker recently about Adam Lanza’s father and his search for answers to his son’s awful behavior. The piece included a quote I thought I would share with you today:
All parenting involves choosing between the day (why have another argument at dinner?) and the years (the child must learn to eat vegetables).
As a parent of two teenage boys who do not like vegetables or homework, I can totally relate to this idea.
