The Washington herald., 1916-01-21

A painstaking mother who was
striving conscientiously to guide her
four children through the trying pc
riod of adolescence once said to me;
II wish children could all be nailed
up In barrels when they are about eight
years old and left there to ripen until
they are eighteen. 1t would make the
mothers job lots easier"'
could not help but agree with her.
for in spite of Tennyson the period
when brook and river meet is not
all poetry. Very much of IL is the
plain prose Of the awkward age" as
have called 1t for our talk today.
With some happily-balanced children
the awkward age is apparently that in
name only: they seem to glide over the
shoals and round the whirlpools of
this time of life with all the smooth
ness and ease of an experienced mar
iner floating his craft in deep and
placid waters; but for the most of us
there is no such good luck We are
ungainly. not knowing what to do with
cur hands and feet, unable to cross a
room without upsetting chair or
humping into the table: wes are either
noisy in our attempts to show that we
are quite att ease, or we are distress
ingly stiff and silently shy. and we are
constantly blurti1g out untimely and
infelicitous speeches that make our
family and friends blush for us.
You were probably that kind of an
ugly duckling" yourself. dear mother.
know / was. But | also know this:
suffered from my awkwardness, from
my maladroit social attempts, far moro
than any one else could have suffered!
Parental vanity may have been wound
ed because of me. but l underwent
agonies of shame and loathing of my
self over every one of my breaks" as
the children call them. Therefore
have the greatest sympathy for the
girls and boys who have arrived at this
transition stage of~their career.
This Is the critical time in the life
of the. child. 1t is the time when he is
made or marred for all the years that
are to follow. In these acutely sensi-
tive, abnormally self-conscious years,
the kind of treatment he receives de-
termines to the greatest extent the
kind of man or woman this individual
will bcome. sympathy and loving kind
ness are more necessary to growth
now than ever before.
But 1t Is such a trying time to fathers
and mothers, especially to mothers, that
1t is Just at this time We have less SYM
pathy and loving kindness to bestow.
In our own anxiety we strive harder than
ever to correct the glaring faults and
ridiculous lapses from good behavior, and
by our ceaseless admonitions make the
child more awkward and self-conscious
| than before.
That is why said at the beginning OF
our talk today that 1 agreed with the
mother who wanted to barrel her chill
dren until after this period of their lives
was over. What the children need now
is to be let alone to work out the thing
for themselves. but few of us have the
wisdom to stand hands or until our
ducklings shall have clothed themselves
in the full plumage of the swans we
know they are to become.
/ said I agreed with the mother l have
