[quote=Anonymous]Can anyone recommend fiction that gets at the heart of why some children reject their parents’ values and way of being at a very young age (by 5-10 for example, I’m not talking teenage rebellion), while others adopt them, when there’s not any abuse or gross negligence or anything like that, and the child is not presented with other grown ups that offer an alternate, more appealing (to the child) way of being?   This question comes up in my mind every single time I spend time with my very happy and conventionally successful parents, as someone past mid life.  And no, I’m past therapy at this point I just want to read some universal truths, through fiction, about what it is about very young children in their nature, rather than nurture, that drives them to chart their own path not just in terms of profession but in terms of way of being in the world (eg nuanced thought processes v black and white thinking, deliberate decision making v frazzled, nature loving v couch potato, etc).  And how does that work out when there’s no alternate model for behavior, just a vague sense of what not to be like?     [/quote]
