Psychiatry? Psychology? Thats crazy!

mind the mind
I’m not crazy! You are!
My child does not pay attention 
He can’t sit at one place for long 
His mind meanders in no time 
Kids these days are just sluggish 
They find excuses to evade study 
Teachers at school just complain 
Parent 1: I don't know what to do about this behavior; I can’t comprehend how to deal with this issue. Every time I meet his teachers they nitpick about how careless he is and how restless he gets at time, it’s so embarrassing for me. Maybe something is wrong with those teachers. 
Parent 2: Well, have you considered taking him to a doctor? 
Parent 1: Why do I need a doctor? He just needs to be spanked and grounded only then he will understand how to behave. 
Parent 2: Your child may have a behavior issue or an adjustment problem; you could consult a psychiatrist and resolve this issue while he is still young. Probably hitting him and punishing him will worsen the situation 
Parent 1: Huh! Why does my son need a psychiatrist? He is not mentally ill. He is not crazy or retarded. He is fine. I know what to do with my son. He's not crazy, you are!
