“Young children may react vigorously when corrected, scream with frustration when denied, cry out when angry, or even become defi ant when they are afraid. Such actions and tiring behaviors point to a number of developmental issues that help shape a child’s temperament and are well worth examining.”
Chapter four – Challenges, is by Dr. Olson Huff. Dr Huff’s significant contributions to the field of pediatrics has spanned over 35 years, and includes founding the Olson Huff Center for Child Development, developing a mobile dental program for underprivileged children, and co-chairing the Task Force on Obesity and Nutrition in North Carolina.
In this chapter, Dr. Huff reveals the reasons behind children’s challenging behavior, including why they feel need to test the limits. He goes on to explain that how parents react or respond to this testing of boundaries can influence future behavior patterns.
