Abstract
All children encounter problems, even the most normal varieties found in ideal home environments. For each one is faced with individual adjustments to life as he finds it. Groups of children coming from all types of environments and illustrating all types of adjustment are especially noticeable in three institutions for children, the school, the foster home, and the pediatric hospital. In school, we find the most normal adjustments. In the foster home, mostly abnormal adjustments, and in the pediatric hospital, a mixture of both normal and abnormal plus the all-important health problems. It is the behavior of children in the third and most complicated group, the pediatric hospital, which I will consider in this paper.
