"The culture has trained us to think we need to consult a specialist for every problem or challenge. When it comes to kids, there are ADD and ADHD specialists, autism specialists, psychologists, psychiatrists, and multiple types of doctors. Some families have tutors for each child, each grade level, each subject. **All of this specialization and expertise undermines our ability to think for ourselves as parents and to make the best choices for our children**. Somehow we’re convinced that all of these other people know better than we do." --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[parenting]], [[instincts]], [[specialisation]] **Source** -- [[20250101093750 - B - How to Raise Successful People]]
