“It’s clear that Charlize is dictating. ‘Get over here! Do this!’ She looks like she’s yelling at him,” the doctor added. “Instead of telling him, she should be selling him on why he’s going to dance class. For all she knows, he doesn’t like dancing.”

“She’s got to find out what’s on his mind by asking him and letting him talk about his feelings,” Dr. Gilda explained. “Not dragging him around.”
