Doubtful Conquests
When Governing q Child.

Many mothers might profit by making
this their motto: Rule by love" The
child heart is so susceptible to the infiu-
ence of affection that it seems wondrous
pity that the budding soul should be hin
dered by the stumbling blocks OF severer
methods, as the little life develops Love
is the only power that really conquer>,
after all. Battles won by force are but
battles likely 70 be fought over again. \
rebeious spirit overcome by love and
kindness is Il conquest made permanent.
If a mother desires her child TO do
certain thing, why not, first OF all, re-
quest him TO do it, just the same as you
would ask it of any other person! Do
this kindly, but with the appearance of
one expecting the request to be granted.
If the child refuses, explain to him why
YOU wish him to obey. If he still draws
back. appeal TO his conscience, for the
average child old enough to understand
what is wanted of him has a conscience
sufficiently developed to do its work. Say,
Surely you wish to do what is right.
This is right, and | expect 1t of You.
Whether the child obeys or not, this meth
cd cannot fail to quicken his conscience,
and set him to thinking.
Then, too, comes in the power of love.
Il know that you love me, and you know
that | love you, and so, of course, you
want to please me and make me happy,
just dS whit W piSdSt YOU dlu ludhc
you happy. 1t makes me very happy to
see you do what is right" The child cid
enough to comprehend this kind of rea-
Soning will nearly always be influenced
by it much more strongly than by any
system which secures obedience by force
or threats.
Here. too is an opportunity to tell the
child about other laws than those Of
the nursery and the home. Mother and
father must obey the laws of the state.
or suffer punishment for breaking them.
In this way the little one sees that it
is not he alone who must obey. but that
law is something larger. more far reach

and usually very efficient punishment for
a rehellious child is to compel him to sit
quietly in chair few minutes and
