Letter to Kate
by Kate Andersen, M.Ed.

Dear Kate,

I took a copy of "The Difficult Child" by Dr. Stanley Turecki to our child's psychologist. He liked the suggestions in it but said that the temperament traits listed in the front of the book were 'overinclusive'. He said that the difficult child in research did not have all of those traits. I am confused. My child does have all of the traits. Does this mean he is not really a 'difficult' child but has something else wrong with him? The psychologist would not really answer my question when I asked him this because he is still evaluating my child.

Sincerely,


[name withheld]
