Hi Dr. Keith
I would definitley switch with a family for 2 weeks! Why you ask? Well what does it hurt to learn something about others and maybe yourself?
P.S. what do look like with hair?

I would like to swap lives in the respect of race. I am made up of a few races, but may appear to most as African American. The issue about race that concern me are things that I feel perpetuate continued racial divide.To many instances where someone is referenced by race. For example, when someone does something for the first time. The first black (or other people of color) to hold this position in a company, or in executive position in sports, etc. It is always announced as just that. Why can't it just be announced without racial indentification. If necessary show a picture. By making a specific ID, it's like saying they are less than, or more than capable, or not. What difference does it make; it is just an appointed individual doing a job they are hired for.
The first time its mentioned is not quite as negative. However, so often after that is not necessary. We are in the 21st century, and we are still dealling with racial issues. I hear it from different races, about acting a certain way. I reply how am I suppose to be, and who says it to be just that? Although, this new generation, is somewhat refreshing because of how race is not that big an issue unless they are given that ammunition. My nephew and his buddies cover almost every race or nationality on this planet, and their interaction far exceeds racial boundaries, and it is so nice to see and be around. If they are a direction of the world being the human race as the only race, then I am thankful for that. I thank my parents for my global knowledge, beliefs, and diverse mentality. I thank God for people like you Dr. Ablow, who can impact the world in a positive way. You are an amazing and wonderful individual. The world is a better place because of those like you.

There is no way I would swap lives with another family. It would be hard to hear someone telling me I couldn't worship God. God Rocks!!

To make a two week "real life swap," would be dumb just to see "how the other half live!' You would go back to being your own self! (:

I don't get to watch the show often, because I work during the day. When I do get a chance to see it, I always come away having learned and felt something. I find Dr. Keith both compasionate and real. He would be a therapist I would want to see in "real" life,if I were seeking help. (Hopefully,what we see on tv is what we'd get in real life...I'd hate to someday find out that this is only a tv personna. There's so much fakery in our society.)

I think a two week period to be gone from your young children is too long and maybe detrimental to them. Why risk creating problems or more problems for your family? GREED! The possiblity of getting a pay off at the end of it.
