A.

My parents were unusual people. When I was small, they always tried to support me and use only nice words to tell me how good I was. Not a word of criticism. They always thanked me for everything I did, saying, 'That's a good boy. How clever you are!' Suddenly, that was not a realistic picture of my behavior. I often thought, if they think I am so clever for doing such a small thing, they certainly can not be very clever themselves.

B.

I think each child is born with a strong desire to get love from his parents. All children want to be sure that they are loved by their parents. My parents were really wise. They understood how important a sense of belonging was to me and my brothers and sisters and tried to show that we all meant a great deal to them. We never felt that any of us was rejected.

C.

We were not often a friendly and united family. Each of us had their own interests and thought that his or her interests were the most important. I would say that sometimes my brothers behaved strangely, and I suppose they could say the same about me. We irritated our parents, and their criticism irritated us. I think we were getting on their nerves, but we wished to have sympathy.

D.

When I was fairly young, I lived with my grandparents. They were not always perfect, but I liked the way they treated me. They treated me like a grown-up person, their equal. We lived in a small house in a village, but the garden was really large, and there was, there were always a lot of things to do there. I was responsible for some of them and had to do my job properly.

E.

Ours was really a very united and friendly family, and it was a large one. We had a big summer cottage that used to belong to my great grandparents, and we all lived there together: my parents, my granny and grandad, and four children, me and my brothers. They were much older than me, but we spent much time together. I had never been rejected.

F.

My parents never fought with me. I think they knew they could lose. But they made me do a lot of things about the house and taught me a lot of things too. I was open to learning. I read a lot, and they always brought interesting books, so I could find a lot of useful information about many things. We traveled around England and abroad a lot, and I learned to notice differences. I began to understand how wonderful things around me are.
