Isolation from Family Group Effective Punishment for
Naughty Children.
BY MRS. LAURA WILLARD LAWRENCE

IF you should ask any kindergart-
ner what punishment she relies on
in all cases needing instant atten-
ton, she would invariably answer;
isolating a child from the group
and excluding him from all work
or play, for a short time. Usually
putting John TO one side where he
ca see What he is missing viii be
sufficient and the question, after
a few minutes. as TO whether he is
now ready TO join the class again
will meet with a ready acquiescence.
Does this plan work as well in the
home as in Kindergarten? 1t Ger
tainly does, but it must be different
~ managed Since there is not so
much definite work or play going
on in the home as in kindergarten,
exclusion has TO be more complete
TO be noticed by the child. That Is
TO say. something more will be ne
cessary than simply having him
draw his chair TO one side of the
room. 1T must be. eco away by
yourself, John, until you are ready
to be a pleasant companion again.
screams. but thev are caused by no
physical pain. and the mental shock
of being entirely alone and out of
from the family Is generally all that
is needed to stop naughtiness. After
the tempest is over, the mother viii
go to her little one and ask 1--WE
want you when you are yourself
again. John. Can we have YOU
back now"
Many of the minor naushtinesses
such as whining, teasing, mimick-
ing. showing. and stamping, are
easily managed in this simple way.
Just here let me say, We mothers
must be careful in our choice of
words for wrong actions. Let us
not call all of them bad. or even
naughty. If a child is disasreeable
or unkind when he is tried, we
shouldn't tell him that he is bad.
Save that worst word for real
wrongs like slapping. sneakins, or
deceiving and the like Then il will
carry weight and mean something.
Real wrongs must be met with Sc
we're punishments such as depriving
the child of some cherished pos
session.
Even baby as young as "A year
old feels isolation. one of our little
ones was forming a habit of throw
ing herself back in her high chair
and screaming all during meal
time because she didn't get things
just as she wanted them. She was
cured in less than a week by her
fathers taking her, chair and all,
to the kitchen the minute she began
and leaving her there behind
closed door until she stopped. How
long did she cry? At the most to
or three minutes, and less and less
each time. until she gave up the
habit entirely.
Care must be taken TO go 10 the
child as soon as the storm passes,
or he viii begin to cry again from
a feeling of neglect.
The isolation method of punish
ment takes time, but any kind Of
punishment takes time except the
ever easy slap and shake which do
so little good and soon breed in a
child the fear of physical violence.
BY little wise thinking and skill

That the unsuitable Hun often
times ignores the actual areas of war
to inf1ict his frightfulness upon non

men and infants. is tellingly
reiterated in a remarkable letter just
received by the friends of Private

An aerial battle between enemy and
