Biological, psychological and social complexities in childhood development

...trouble pretty quickly. So if you recognise the signs, if you know the signs from experience, I’d – I wouldn’t hesitate to phone 999. From a child’s experience, the first time it happens, it’s going to be scary. They’re not going to know what’s going on, but also, the more they have it, I think, when they have an attack, they know that the consequences can...

Systems diagramming

...trouble. So I think there should be more understanding in the workplace about it. I spoke to a senior police woman, actually, who's retired from the force, because she said she'd had such a terrible menopause.

...trouble with her is she puts all her socialist cards before the horse.’ And that draws on a standard idiom, a standard phrase, ‘Don’t put the cart before the horse.’ In other words, get your priorities right.

...trouble to view it at a number of different magnifications, including more or less of the situation and its environment in each image.
