-
They come into the world with a
feeling of royalty
(and often act like it)
-
They have a feeling of
"deserving to be here,"
and are surprised when others
don't share that.
-
Self-worth is not a big issue.
They often tell the parents
"who they are."
-
They have difficulty with
absolute authority
(authority without
explanation or choice).
-
They simply will not do certain
things; for example,
waiting in line is difficult
for them.
-
They get frustrated with
systems that are ritually
oriented and don't require
creative thought.
-
They often see better ways of
doing things, both at home
and in school, which makes
them seem like "system busters"
(nonconforming to any system).
-
They seem antisocial unless
they are with their own kind.
If there are no others of like
consciousness around them,
they often turn inward,
feeling like no other human
understands them. School is
often extremely difficult for
them socially.
-
They will not respond to
"guilt" discipline
("Wait till your father gets
home and finds out what
you did").
-
They are not shy in letting
you know what they need.
