      Hi

      For me that has to be deciding what not to do – there are too many possible directions I could go any day that I can’t possibly do all that I want. Sometimes it’s when other people make the decisions about what I should do, and I don’t agree – a bit like being told to clean my room I guess – and that can be frustrating.

      Grown ups don’t like being told what to do either. Or perhaps I didn’t grow up yet.

      Sometimes passing on your enthusiasm to others. When you’ve worked really hard to solve an ongoing problem, those at home don’t really understand why you’re so excited!
