    Immediately aware that power had gone forth from him, Jesus turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my clothes?”
    Bible: New Testament, Mark 5:30.

    Toddlers who don’t learn gradually about disappointment lose their resilience through lack of practice in give-and-take with other people’s needs. They can become self-centered, demanding, and difficult to like or to be with.
