IDENTIFYING AND RAISING CHILDREN ACCORDING TO THEIR MOTIVATIONAL GIFT: Several years ago I had a couple come in for counseling. They brought a three year old and a five year old with them. They had recently lost their two year old in a tragic accident and were distraught as one would suspect. As they talked tears ran down their faces. The three years went across to a table with Kleenex and returned got up into her parents laps and wiped tears from their eyes and said ‘do not cry mommy,’ ‘do not cry daddy’ as she gently wiped the tears from their eyes. The five year old crawled under a desk and played with a toy totally non- responsive to the scene in the room.
