Letter: Letters: Temper, temper

Published 27 March 1993

From COLIN REID

In his article ‘Why must I be a teenager at all?’ (6 March), Barry Bogin
writes that we must first be clear about what adolescence is.

My wife, of considerable child rearing and teaching experience, has
no difficulty with the concept. It is, she confides, bad temper from 11
to 20.
