The Difficult Child

Abstract

This book is very different from most in its field. Written particularly for the school teacher, it has divided difficult children into groups which are not common medical categories. For example, there is a chapter on, "The Lazy Child" and one on "The Pampered Child."

This fractionation of children leaves the reader with the difficult task of pulling these symptoms together to comprehend the troubles of any one child. Very little attention is paid to any over-all understanding of children of which these problem might be symptomatic
