How Understanding Harry Potter Can Improve Your Parenting

This past weekend I was filled with joy as I was able to see the new Fantastic Beasts Movies in theaters with a good friend of mine.  I had been waiting to see how the movie unfolded and the story continued.  

If you have not seen the movies, there is a certain character named Credence who develops a negative entity known is an Obscurus.  This negative entity grows within him because Credence tries to hide from the world what he really is - a wizard being raised by a fanatical anti-magic foster mother.  The more he tries to suppress his magical powers, the more this negative entity grows inside of him, eventually to the point where he can no longer suppress it and it is released to cause mayhem and chaos. 

The Harry Potter universe is no stranger to negative entities.  In Book 3, Prisoner of Azkaban, we are introduced to dementors.  These are creatures that feed on people's happiness, leaving them only in sadness in despair. 

So what can we learn from these two negative entities, and how can we apply it to our every day lives are parents and physicians?  Listen in to find out!
