Very interesting article and yes agree. Teachers often like to label the children as if that would help them or the children manage themselves. I just wanted to add one more thing to this article. More often than not, us adults, have unrealistic expectations of children's behaviour, specially, that are not even age appropriate. That with all mentioned above, complicates matters for our young children because by limiting their potential, we are often times actually limiting their development, learning and growth. A good example of that is when children have more obvious schemas and are already being labelled as autistic when they just might be at a different level of development or have certain sensorial needs.
