Findings appear in the October 1 issue of Optics Letters, a journal of the Optical Society of America.

Young children's defiance toward mothers may be part of health development
07-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
New results suggest that defiance toward their mothers when children are very young, may reflect confidence and early autonomy. Researchers worked with 119 mothers and their 14- to 27-month-old children using play time interactions as a means of study. Although high levels of defiance at slightly older ages may be problematic, the research shows that at this age, defiance is part of healthy development.
