One would think that statement was made 100 years ago. Not so. Jennifer Graham, a freelance journalist for wrote it a few months ago. From her op-ed, “The Omnichild’s Dilemma:” “In the 1800s, the Harvard-educated psychologist G. Graham continued, “He was wrong, of course. .” Statements throughout her article smack of the dark ages. Graham defended her attacks on the Emily Rooney radio show by saying that she wrote her op-ed tongue and cheek, that she intended it to be a humor piece.
When I was invited to speak about one-child families at Parent Talk , a community-based organization of families with young children in the Boston area, I asked Jennifer Graham to attend for a catch-up on the current findings and thinking about only children. Parent care is rarely equal ; and even when duties are divided, the in-fighting can be unpleasant. Within certain areas of family life, doubts and criticism have all but vanished.
References: Taming the Social-Comparison Beast. People compare themseves to others even though it feels bad.
Your brain skims past the good in your life and finds ways that you come up short. We have inherited this social radar from earlier mammals. Animals compare themselves to others because it reduces conflict. Our limbic system has been making social comparisons for millions of years, so we have to learn to live with it. "I don't indulge in such foolishness," you may think.
Some psycholgists recommend focusing on those who have less than you. So the next time social comparison gives you a little twinge, remember that your response is real because your animal brain controls the neurochemicals. Some of the time, your social radar will report that you are the one who’s on top. Your brain will check other people out and compare them to you whether you like it or not.

This is hard on introverts. The Dos and Don’ts of working with an introverted child. My daughter making a pet store in her room. But don't bother her while she's working on it. She'll let you know when it's done and then gladly give you a tour. If you’re an introvert you’ve heard it all. Well this may come as a shock to most extroverts, but we introverts are just not that impressed with you. Growing up that was my impression. I know better now, but when you see someone constantly seeking social interaction and validation, when you see them just blab on and on about nothing, when you see them get bored when the conversation becomes more in depth and reflective in nature, it’s easy to dismiss an extrovert as being somewhat of an idiot.
Of course, they’re not idiots, it can just seem that way to an introvert. Etymology of Neuroscience Terms.
