MAKING LIGHT OF
CHILDREN'S TROUBLES

When your child first comes TO you
in tears. and complains bitterly OF this
or that petty wrong or injury, he
forces you to one of the most import
ant decisions in your parental career.
Your path lies open before you, to
treat his troubles seriously, to speak
to him 'man to man." or TO laugh at
it as Of no consequence.
Beware before you too hastily make
your choice. You are choosing be-
tween your little ones future conf
dence, even his self-resDect. and his
final alienation from you.
To the child all his woes are real
and important. His little fears and
angers are as great factors in his
mental development as your large
ones are in yours.
Many a timid child has been fright
ened into convulsions and death by
something which would not cause an
adult even to start. and many a pas
sionate one has lived. to regret that all
his infantile naughtinesses were treat
ed as jokes and made simply the
cause for laughter.
There IS no occasion to overestimate
their Importance; it win not be neces-
sary. Simply accord to the child the
same consideration, help, and critic
ism that you would give to a grown
person suffering from proportionally
heavy troubles. and do not let feel that
