How TO TEACH cnTLDaEg TO TEAzE.-
Children are taught TO teaze very much as
they are taught to cry. With all his little
wants real or imaginary, the child runs to its
mother, They arc matters Of importance to
him. He wants a definite and decisive an
gwer-one which will settle the question,
and bis mind will be on the rack till he has it.
It is not the nature Of the child to feel other
wise. He will have no peace, himself, and
will therefore give his mother no peace, till
he understands and knows that the point is
settled, and how it is settled. If you give
him no answer till he has spoken ten times,
he will speak ten times and then If he has
any any reason TO suspect that twenty times
more will obtain an answer more favorable TO
his wishes, he will speak twenty times more,
And this will soon grow into a habit But
give him an answer the~frst time he speaks,
and he will not be obliged to speak a Sc
cond time TO obtain one and never alter
your decision for teazing, and will soon give
it up as Of no use. If you have leisure, and
the occasion seems a proper one, you may let
him argue his case before you decide it, but
not afterwards. Indeed if he has learned by
experience that your decisions are final, he
will seldom, If ever, attempt it. He viii con
slider it an answer. His mind will be at rest
on that point, aud soon find something else
with which to amusc himself.
