Theme Pack 11 - Influencing Children: "Problem Children" and "The
Child's Symptom Selection," by Alfred Adler.

Adler stresses the futility of dominance and punishment in influencing
children. In order to gain a child's respect and cooperation, an adult
must approach the child with a feeling of equality and engage the
child in a friendly discussion to solve problems for mutual benefit.
Children who feel intimidated by adults, often resort to lying,
deception, and annoying symptoms to defeat their adversary.
