- Explaining Michael Jackson's Demons
-
The BBC News has psychologists weigh in on “how the extraordinary childhood experiences of someone such as Michael Jackson might shape a person in later life”…. It’s a terribly fascinating glimpse at the ways in which children internalize their experiences and later might reconcile them in adult life.
What struck me the loudest was this quote, from psychologist Peter Congdon:
“It’s well known that the best preparation for growing up is to live fully as a child. Parents of clever or talented children shouldn’t forget this.”
