Emotional Illiteracy


Reading Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child, by John Gottman, and thinking, "So that's why Lucy can't calm herself down after getting angry or sad... it's because of her idiot parents!

And speaking of emotional parenting mistakes, Laurent and I watched Kick Ass last night. I loved every minute of it. At least we aren't training Lucy to be an assassin...

If you are looking for more entertainment, I can't recommend the new Masterpiece Theatre's Sherlock highly enough. Humorous and well acted, with gorgeous anachronisms that stream back to Sir A. C. Doyle's time, gracefully overlayed with ultra contemporary technology.
