Why do so many of these child psychologists not have children of their own?

Edit: This is hyperbole. I am talking about this particular child psychologist not having children. I understand it doesn't mean he might not have a great understanding of how a child's mind works but it means he has never had the stress of raising a child and knowing how hard it is to keep your cool with them. Especially when they are as energetic as my own children.

This is an incredibly powerful comment, I was just looking to see myself if this psychologist have children of his own and came to the same conclusion that he doesn't. The absolute arrogance to not have children of your own but preach to others how they should raise theirs...

-edit -> and be in your late seventies, having long forgotten what it is to raise kids or see your peers raise their own kids.

They know what they'd be letting themselves in for

Why are so many economists broke?
