Tiger Mom on one end, abuse and neglect on the other end. That leaves a wide gap in the middle where anything can happen.Bill Peschelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257587479467531187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-25833181699431181432018-08-14T00:54:50.303-07:002018-08-14T00:54:50.303-07:00This is interesting because it comes at the same t...This is interesting because it comes at the same time as a CNN documentary I saw in May called "Three Identical Strangers," about triplets given up for adoption soon after birth, and placed by an adoption agency in three very different families in NY State. These three boys were the focus of studies by a psychiatrist trying to solve the nature or nurture conundrum, and he sealed the results until after their deaths. The documentary did not however focus on the nature or nurture controversy, but on the ethicality of separating these boys and studying them (a psychological team came to their respective homes each month) without letting the parents know that they were triplets. Through an incredible coincidence, two of the triplets discovered each other, and their faces all over the news led to their discovery by the third. Anyway, i'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on this documentary, if you see it (it is riveting--highly recommend).
