· 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. They are clairvoyant and can “see” right through dishonesty. NOTE: Some children suffer from ADD-like symptoms because of chemicals and dyes added to foods and products geared for children. Removing these from their diet is a necessity.
