Note: Remember, babies commonly grunt, push, strain, draw up their legs and turn red in the face when they are passing a stool. This is normal. They are just getting the hang of what muscles to clench in order to move the stool and gas. Think about what you would do if you had to have a bowel movement while lying down. It may look painful, but it is not. It is all a part of normal growth and development and learning how to produce a stool.

The availability heuristic, judging the frequency or probability of an event based on what is readily available in memory, poses a related challenge. We tend to give too much weight to the probability of something if we have seen it recently or if it is vivid in our mind.

David McClelland, in Power: the Inner Experience, adapts Erik Erikson’s Freud-inspired stages of ego-development to create four discrete power orientations. In Stage 1, ‘It strengthens me’, that is, power comes from someone else; in Stage 2, ‘I strengthen myself’; in Stage 3, ‘I have impact on others’; and in Stage 4, I am ‘moved to do my duty’, a stage in which ‘the self drops out as a source of power and a person sees himself as an instrument of a higher authority which moves him to try to influence or serve others.’
