I can’t say for sure, but I strongly suspect that as a child I was what is
delicately and euphemistically described as a ‘Difficult Child’. That’s
politically correct short hand for a child that drives people up the wall,
in case you were wondering :). But, of course, difficult children are not
evil or bad and they need all the things that all children need, even if
it is a whole lot more challenging to actually give it to them. That’s why
I was truly heartened to come across The
Kansas Association for Infant Mental Health and take a look at all of
the amazing slides they have. I think the information in these slides
might well come in handy if I have children of my own, since I won’t be at
all surprised if they’re a chip off the old block ;).
