    I have two teenaged boys brought up together , close in age, and most of their lives had an intact family and comfortable life …

    • one has anxiety, the other doesn’t
    • one has sleep issues, the other doesn’t
    • one has overeating issues, the other doesn’t
    • one is sedentary, the other an athlete.
    • one has allergies, the other doesn’t

    I don’t know what to make of my younger kid: he does his homework on time and gets good grades. He goes to bed on time and gets a healthy amount of sleep. He eats a healthy amount with good nutritional choices. He’s an athlete on a varsity team and likes working out. He’s open to new experiences, new cuisines, new knowledge, and has friends different races, preferences, and peer groups. He’s popular with both fellow students and with teachers. He’s not anxious nor bullying nor mean. I don’t understand him at all.
