Mr. Murphy, my name is John. I have a 12 year old son (who is a handful) and although at this present time I can’t seem to think of any questions for you. I would in as much of an unpretentious manner as possible alert you to a typo in the last paragraph regarding the benefits of “young adults”

getting outside. I think the word go maybe was supposed to be in place of get? Anyway, thank you for the incredible work you do for all of us parents along with all the people like me that probably drive you nuts. Ha

I like the piece you wrote but I wish the image of “successful kids” at the top showed some diversity... first impression without reading the article is “oh, you have to be white in order to be successful”... also would be interesting to know the socio-economic status of the parents with preschoolers who made $12K more... was it just praises at preschool that made the difference? Also there might be/likely is a bias from teachers themselves in praising kids who are whiter/more economically advantaged vs kids who are of color /might not have the same economic advantages. Just saying... I think it’s important to address some of these issues transparently instead of tip towing around it by saying “some parents might not agree...”

My thought was all Chinese are successful. I’m guessing this issue comes from your personal perspective. 😊

Hey Chris, sorry you had trouble. About .1% of downloaders are having an issue, which I am trying to troubleshoot. I will email you the book as a pdf.
