How Much Does Raising a Child Teach You About You?
Sally Kohn: I used to think things were mostly nurture. These days i'm like, i think it's mostly nature. You said in a tweet that you were watching your son look at trucks or something. And it was, it was in that you realized, oh, a lot of this is pre programmed. Why do you make that tweeter assumption? "I just see his, his natural affinities"

You said in a tweet that you were watching your son look at trucks or something. And it was, it was in that you realized, oh, a lot of this is pre programmed. Why do you make that tweeter assumption? I mean,
Speaker 1
i just see his, his natural affinities. He's so opinionated. He either loves something, he just, he has this thing where he bursts into laughter when he likes something. You know, the t this morning was like flicking his ear, and he just, like, bursts into joyous laughter. He either loves something or he hates it. And just, like, sees that thing, h just screams, cause he just doesn't want anything to do with it. So everything is like to an extreme in ways that i can't explain from his upbringing, ways that feel genetically programmed, things that remind me of when i was a kid, like uncanny, you know, ways that he am, that he eats food, or ways that he reacts when he sees a train, or the ways that he am that he sleeps. I just, it's, it's recalebrated, like the nature. I used to think things were mostly nurture. These days i'm like, i think it's mostly nature.
Speaker 2
How much does you know, sometimes people say, you go to a different country, and what you actually learn about is yourself. I think that came up in my conversation with david prale how much does raising ild teach you about yourself? You think it's going to be about you teaching the child, but in fact, it's about the child teaching you. Oh, my gosh, so much. Gosh.
Speaker 1
It's, he's the best teacher. He's the best teacher. Bcause he's so unyielding. You can't negotiate. You can't reason, can't bargain. He's just an extremely, a ruthless negotiator.
Speaker 2
Bhat does that mean? Exactly.
Speaker 1
Psychiph, it's like i was saying, if he wants something, he wants it now, and he doesn't want anything else. And you can't say, like, just a simple example of preparing food. This morning, i was preparing ina yogred and bananas. He doesn't understand or care that i need a couple minutes to prepare his yogre and bananas. He's angry i am keeping him from his yogred and bananas. And it's easy to be like, kind of mad, like, you know, why is be patient or something. But, like, we're that way, right? I can, i can recognize that in myself, that when i want something, i don't care about the details. I just want it. And actually, i kind of want to get more in touch with that. Like, as an adult, it's valuable to like being in touch with what you want and to go for it. We tend to be like, ono, i need to do a and b and c in the check list. And, oh, but i can't have it for this reason. But like, he's teaching me how to go after what i want in life, because that's what he does every minute of the day.
