WOMAN'S REALM
Temper in Babies

High temper in small child must
be promptly met by gentle flrmness on
the mothers part. Loud ontcries must
be hushed at once. not by angry words
or acts, but by grave Quieness of
speech which by mere contrast helps
TO subdue. Kicking, stamping the feet,
and thrashing the arms may be re-
pressed by physical force If necessary,
but be calm and do not show anger
yourself. Above all, do not ever grant
requests or fayors that the child
thinks he can gain by having a tan
trum. Let him understand from his
birth that crying or making "a scene
will never gain the indulgence, and he
will soon learn to abandon such un-
pleasant tactics As he grows Older
and can be reasoned with he should be
taught to overcome the beginnings OF
temper and to struggle against hasty
words and anger. Most quick-temper-
ed children have affectionate, generous
natures that are easiy influenced fol
good il the lessons ane begun very early
in life and administered with loving pa
tience and tact Each success makes
the next effort at self-control easier.
