Do you have a child who is, well, kind of obnoxious? A kid who always wants to be the centre of attention. Or is your child so sensitive they're missing out on opportunities to shine? These traits are part of a temperament spectrum that Maggie calls the Rooster and Lamb Continuum. She talks to parents about how to identify a rooster or a lamb, how to manage their most extreme traits like anxiousness or arrogance, and how to gently nudge them towards the middle of the continuum.
