Problems predictably follow them along with the headaches. Perhaps problem children just haven't found their niche where they can flourish.
Some trees seem like problem children with their dropping twigs, diseases and bug problems.
Actually the trees are not bad trees, we just haven't placed them in a situation where they can flourish. First of all, select the right tree for the right spot. Give power lines plenty of clearance from large trees. You do the math. A tree with a mature height of 80 feet will soon engulf a 30 feet tall power line.
