CHANGING PERSONALITY PROFILE AS HIGH NEED CHILD GROWS
THE CHANGING PERSONALITY PROFILE OF THE HIGH NEED CHILD

The words you use to describe your high-need child will change over the years, as the traits that so exhausted you during infancy are channeled into qualities that will make your child an interesting, dynamic adult. Try to think of your child's personality in a positive light and look ahead. Labels that seem like negatives will be positive traits in your child's future personality.
