Behavioral Disorders In Children - Are They Avoidable?
I have met half a dozen children rumored to be suffering from such disorders, and on all of these occasions I was interested to note the parents’ behavior was exactly cloned, one from the other. In every case the parents were attentive, well meaning and affectionate, passionately devoted to their children.
In two cases, the children had brothers and sisters who were very well behaved, but in both cases the problem children were the youngest in the family. I am not suggesting this disorder is a result of over affectionate parenting, I am merely pointing out that many of these children seem to come from secure and comfortable surroundings.
