Example text
This child did not emerge from a medical case study or an educational treatise, but instead in the form of a fictional character from a nursery rhyme. Fidgety Philip . . ’ See the naughty, restless child Growing still more rude and wild, Till his chair falls over quite. Philip screams with all his might, Catches at the cloth, but then That makes matters worse again. Down upon the ground they fall, Glasses, plates, knives, forks, and all. How Mamma did fret and frown, When she saw them tumbling down!
