I do a great deal of work with young children, and if you give a child a problem, he may come up with a highly original solution, because he doesn't have the established route to it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was a problem child, and problem children do the seemingly insane because they are trying to find out how to fit into the scheme of things.
With the right help, children have a good chance of overcoming their issues while they are still young and can have the bright future they deserve.
When you have solved the problem of controlling the attention of the child, you have solved the entire problem of its education.
Working with kids can be tricky because they can be pretty unpredictable.
Working with children is very different than the way in which I work with adults. One has to work just as much with children as with adults, but the manner of work is very different. I never tell the children the actual truth of the thing that I want them to act.
I'll tell you what the real problem is: These people are working under the assumption that they know better about what is good for kids, what kids need to learn to get ahead in this world.
My kids have been incredibly supportive of the work that I do. They understand why it matters.
What I do as best I can is out of a deep respect for children, for how difficult their world is.
Children are far more interesting to work with than grownups. They're incredibly honest. They'll tell you exactly what they think.
I really feel that most things are difficult at the beginning and they become fun, something you love, only after you've worked at them. Making children do something hard can, in the long run, be a great parental service.
