- 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.
