Balance
A healthy work-life balance is one of the hardest goals to achieve in life. However, it’s especially tough for kids who work in show business. They depend on their parents to help balance school work and a social life that every kid needs. While Richie’s parents focused on his physical health, they failed to prioritize any of his other necessities.
To keep his focus on athletics, Richie’s parents prohibited playing video games or having other hobbies that didn’t help sculpt his body. In effect, this meant he wasn’t even allowed to spend time with children his own age. Unfortunately, Richie spent his entire childhood sticking to the strict regime.
