PARENTS SHOULD RESPECT
OPINIONS OF THE CHILDREN
Courtesy and federation Must Be Granted Ideas of
Boys and Girls by Fathers and Mothers.

To speak ones mind honestly, without
being offensive. requires gentleness, tenn
pered with wisdom. Yet to conceal one s
opinion simply because it is contrary to
those with whom one associates is hypo-
critical, if not actually deceptive.
Disagreeing pleasantly is merely mat
ter of kindness of heart, with liberation
for the other persons opinion. Live and
let live applies not only literally but
figuratively to all conditions of daily life,
and it is an excellent plan to remember
that other persons have as much right
as ones self to point of view, even
whens it is sdjfferent Failure to recognize
this fact often causes breaches with rela-
tives. they, more than friends, feeling at
liberty to speak their minds"
AS an example of this condition | want
to state that the opinions of two genera
lions differ. often because of changing
customs and conditions-the elders fail to
realize that the younger must be heard
tolerantly, and so the parents. instead of
extending the courtesy of listening po-
litely to the younger folk, deliver their
ultimatum as though there were no ap-
peal, and then are astonished because
confidence and understanding grow less
between them and their children. Those
parents who as their sons and daugh-
tiers develop, can encourage an express

sion of opinion so they know the lines
upon which young minds are working,
and with gentle argument and reason can
control and mold 1t, exercise an influence
as strong as that held during childhood.
But it is only by liberation and gentle
ness that this can be accomplished. For
growing boys and girls are too old and
experienced for an assertion of direct au-
thority to influence.
Mothers are not infrequently grief
stricken that their daughters, as the
girls grow older. keep them from their
thoughts and ambitions, giving confidence
to Others. In most cases this is the
mothers own responsibility. because she
tries to-exert authority or pressure when
others give only sympathy.
To sympathize is not to agree; it is to
understand the other side. Mothers should
bear this in mind and meet their daugh-
ters on common mental basis even
when trying to make the younger see
that her attitude. is mistaken.
Confidence between mother and daugh-
ter is to be maintained at all costs on
the part of the former, and a test Of her
success as parent is the ability to
strike the right note of sympathy with
such gentleness and understanding as to
influence the girl to right way of think
ing, even when the latter is inclined to
differ.
1t is not by failure to agree that sons
and daughters are alienated, but by a
total lack of liberation from the elders.

Christmas Popcorn.

While popcorn is always delightful
