Then I get to test my new knowledge.

Oh, what a wonderful question.

And I guess it is a long story because I started puzzling over this question of why won't my kids do what I want really when my uh youngest was three and she's now eleven.

So in one way or another I've been kind of pulling at that thread for eight years and really got interested in it because my kids are just so different from I am.

You know, the way I am.

They are

Rembunctious, high energy, creative.

And I was the typical good girl who did what I was told and I love to sit and read and on for hours.

And they love to read also, but they also have so many other interests and ideas about how they should behave in a family.

And so I started trying to understand how we could all work together and

Over the course of those eight years I really came to understand their behavior not as bad behavior or

trying to be difficult but as

needing skills to manage the transition or to handle their impulses or simply to learn to be civilized and sit at the table during dinner.

Over the course of those eight years, I was also volunteering in their school.

I was a Girl Scout leader.

I coached Odyssey of the Mind, which is a creative problem-solving team.

And in all these settings I saw other kids who just seemed so

So different from the kids that I grew up with in how they responded to discipline, in how they interacted with adults and each other.

And so that got me curious about whether it was a broader issue and change in how kids are developing today that maybe would be something important for everyone to know about.

And then as a journalist, I started speaking to experts, I started interviewing psychologists, and I met a man named Ross Green, who's a psychologist in New England.
