sensitive parents who actually spend a good deal of time with their children in relaxed circumstances would be fairly aware of what the issues were. Right, and also wrong: every parent has a blind spot, and kids are incredibly good at slipping into them. My parents spent huge amounts of time with me, and were as sensitive as anyone could ask, and to this day they don't know what many of the issues were. I suspect that one obstacle is the tendency of parents to focus on relieving their children of whatever the greatest trouble they faced as children was, which often leads us to forget that there are other troubles. I've always found it odd that young women, and even many older women, so often draw their cues from the fantasy worlds of models and movie stars, instead of from the people they interact with every day. Given the myth of female sensitivity, one would expect it to be the other way around; I doubt that I will ever understand it.
