CULTIVATING GOOD HABITS

Helen emphasized her words by re-
seating the boy in his high chair and
giving him bit of fruit jelly, of
which he was very fond, to induce
him to remain seated
''Why don't you let him get down?
He will come back in a few minutes, "
plead the indulgent father.
"If | let him do that once he will
want to do it every time he comes to
the table and what sort of manners
will he have? He must learn right
now to finish his meal before going
back to his play and then he will form
the habit of eating enough food at
one time to last until another feed
ing period arrives. No piecing in

of that age all sorts of good habits.
OF course it takes persistence and
patience. l might say you should

you tried putting him to he'd at the

Just because she cries hard. She

lay her on the bed and leave the

that occurs go in and talk TO her
