HOW TO MAKE CB1LDREy MIND

How TO MAKE CHILDREN MIND
Chow is it your children mind so we'll ?"

you don't spare the rod, but neither do L.
Seems to me Pm forever scolding and
fogging my boys and girls, and they are
still as disobedient and headstrong as
ever. Now, you don't seem to have any
bother with yours. 1t must be all in the
child's disposition. Some children have
more spirit than others, and are harder
to break in"
~ don't think mine have any lack of
spirit" the lady answered with quiet
smile. "They inherit restless, active
temperament, but l have always been
firm with them-frm, not harsh. / aim 10
impress on my children that disobedience
is sure to get them into trouble. 1 say,
Don't do such thing and when they
do it the punishment (not necessarily a
heavy one) follows promptly and inevita-
bly,. The two things, disobedience and
punishment, are so absolutely connected
together that the child inevitably thinks
of the one every time it meditates the
other. Why don't child put its fingers
into the fire? Because it knows that if it
does it will get burned. And in the
same experimental manner my children
know that if they disobey they will get
punished; and they avoid disobediepce
accordingly" r.
"Ah! this is all very fine. Your chill
dren may mind while they're under your
eye. But how does your system work in
your absence? Do your children mind
when you're not looking at them ?"
"My dear madam, all beings that are
guided by experience, rather than by
precept, are essentially creatures of habit,
and children especially so. Habits are,
indeed, nothing more or less than accu-
mulated experiences. Drive sheep into
certain pen every night for month,
and thereafter they will 60 there without
any driving. Have yourself called every
morning at FIVE for, a few weeks, and
you'll find you will wake without calling.
And in just the same way, by teaching
your children to obey implicitly when
you are present, you will get them in
such habit of obedience that they will
seldom think of disobeying in your alb
sence. Experience will form the habit,
and the habit will remain long after the
experience has been forgotten or is, at
best, remembered in dim and misty
fashion,
"At least, such has been my expert
ence with my own children; and if your
method of discipline has resulted in chill
dren that won't mind, suppose you try
my system for while. Put yourself in
your child's place, and try so to shape its
experiences that from each one of them
it may learn only lesson of the advau-
tages of obedience and good behavior"
