It’s Christmas and if you don’t know how to answer your children, nephews, nieces, cousins, or others to the question of the real existence of Santa Claus, Caroline Goldman, the daughter of Jean-Jacques Goldman, has prepared you a ready-made answer that should allow you to get through it with flying colors.
Jean-Jacques Goldman: His daughter Caroline, famous psychologist, has a very useful answer to this essential Christmas question
Caroline Goldman is the daughter of and psychologist Catherine Morlet. Clinical psychologist specializing in child and adolescent psychologyshe is the author of several books and articles, and also speaks in conferences and seminars but also on the radio to share her expertise. Despite his father’s fame, even if his work is sometimes criticized by his peers. She was particularly talked about after a column on attention deficit disorder (ADHD) on France Inter in August 2023. The psychologist had, among other things, claimed to be able to treat this disorder in a few sessions, while many experts said the opposite. On his Instagram account, Cédric Rostein, behind the podcast Papatriarcat, had notably written on his Instagram account on this subject that “The Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS) recently disavowed certain beliefs about ADHD, notably the controversial (and conspiratorial) positions of Caroline Goldman and psychoanalysis on this subject”.
This time, it’s on a completely different subject than . On the occasion of Christmas, the psychologist decided to help parents and others answer an important question for children: does Santa Claus really exist? To do this, she published an essay response on her feed. We can read in particular: “Our first duty is to make our children happy, to make their eyes shine with surprises, gifts and delicious dishes, so that they love life and cling to it with optimism! Seeing us celebrate life and be generous is a trait, a way of living, which they will in turn perpetuate (by including us in this program!).
Does Santa Claus exist?
And to add in the following slides of his publication: “I think I am very happy to perpetuate this fable that makes children dream from around the world and, by proxy, everyone around them!”. and explained that it was normal for a child to ask this question. She warned: “The big misunderstanding is that they are waiting for a scientific answer to this question.”
“Here is mine, which combines truth and maintaining the dream: in store windows, the stories in books, magazines…. it’s a really powerful way to exist!'”, we could read. A good compromise to keep the dream alive for the children. Little extra tip? “Don’t hesitate to rally your older children to maintain the illusion for the little ones: you will see them light up with the same pleasure and the game will definitely be won!”she wrote. And to conclude on an equally positive note: “Every smile, every child’s wonder is a structural psychological gift that you offer him for life. Merry Christmas everyone!!
