**It's amazing how intolerent our society is towards
children and their emotions.**

Oh -- I was thinking the same thing today.

I was listening to Fresh Air on NPR. Terri Gross was interviewing
Stephen King and asked him about painful medical procedures he had as a
child and as an adult. As a child he was told that very painful things
"wouldn't hurt". As an adult, the doctor included him in more
discussions and even though he had extremely painful therapy after his
car accident, as an adult he didn't feel victimized in the same way he
did as a child.
