The light bulb moment when your child (especially not your first) realizes that he or she is NOT the center of the universe is a pretty harsh moment. I think it happens some time around the first or second day of school. They get corralled into a room with 20 or so other kids who have, for all intents and purposes, been the "center of the universe" all their lives. Some children deal with it and accept it, then fight and claw their way back to become the center of the universe again. Others cope and deal and become followers. Some never really cope or deal and just pretend. Others will create their own little universe to be the center of. Whatever the case, it happens.
Nope.... Just a random thought really...
