Picture of Ferrum lacticumEssence: a persistant little girl.
A persistant little girlThe adult may be very persistant on the one hand, and on the other hand they can behave like a little girl. One moment very resolute and the other moment childishly dependent.
Fighting the fact you are still a girl
They want to be big and grown up and they get very angry if you call them ‘little girl’.
Persistent in their dependenceWhen they are still little they can be very persistent in letting you know how dependent they still are. If the mother wants to go out the little girl may get very angry and hold on to the mother, making sure the mother can’t leave without her. Even as a baby they can get very angry, especially when they have got to wait before they are fed.
