During the weekend, I arranged to meet with a few friends and take the children to the park. The 'seed' type of child is one you can never keep up with; they're climbing on big rocks one moment and dangerously testing the waters by the pond the next. Among the group, they're always the one who can't sit still. The 'rhizome' type child is slow to start and may only break the ice with unfamiliar peers just when it's almost time to leave. 'Flower' children call out for your attention wanting to show you whatever little thing they've done, seeking your acknowledgement and praise. Without it, they feel lost, and may react strongly if criticized in public. The 'tree trunk' type of child exerts the strongest leadership among the little ones, commanding everyone in games and making rules, sternly criticizing those who do not comply.
