[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think easy kids necessarily make for successful adults, so I wouldn't judge too soon. I know I was a kid who challenged authority constantly and was not an easy personality. But I've become a very successful adult who now challenges authority by litigating. As an attorney it's made me quite successful and I enjoy it. With a professional outlet for that aspect of my personality, I have successful relationships with my husband and kids. I know a lot of easy kids who it became directionless adults when they didn't have anyone telling them what to do anymore. They floundered and have really struggled as adults.[/quote] Then maybe they weren’t so easy. My kid is outwardly easy but his problem is that he doesn’t have any persistence or grit. Maybe it’s precisely what makes him easy. However it’s a struggle to make him work hard and be accountable. I can totally see him as directionless when he’s older. [/quote]
