TA101 - The Child
actually, the child is in many ways, the most valuable part of the personality and can contribute to the individuals life exactly what an actual child can contribute to the family life: charm, pleasure, and creativity.
There are two forms of the child: the adapted child and the natural child. The adapted child is the one who modifies his behaviour under the parental influence. He behaves as afather or mother wanted him to behave, compliant or precociously, for example. Or he adapt himself by withdrawing or whininh. Thus, parental influence is a cause and the adapted child an effect.
Who knew that the Child could be so interesting, and I always thought of it so negatively?
