DEALING WITH THE
ANGRY CHILD
BY JENNIE S. CLoUGH

OF the many problems which con-
front a mother, one of the hardest is
that Of meeting in the wisest way the
undesirable traits that appear in chill
dren. In dealing with these problems
there are two great helps. First, a
sens of humor. If child comes
down ~to breakfast sullen and bad
tempered, make some little joke, it
helps to clarity the atmosphere q
don't mean laugh at the child, that
only adds fuel to the fred, but do
some amusing thing, or tell a funny
story and you will make the clouds
vanish like magic. Parents who ap-
preciate fun and who are the real
companions of their little ones have
the happiest and most affectionate
children. But most important of all
is grace Grace is that lovely, loving
spirit which. no matter how trying
the children are, cannot be disturbed.
We cannot have this of ourselves, it
is the gift of God. He says, MY
grace is sufficient for thee SO, when
the children are noisy and naughty
and our nerves seem just about in
pieces, let us say this over and over
mentally and We shall be surprised at
the peace and quietness within our
selves that will follow.
Granted that we have sympathy and
poise ourselves. we are in a fit con-
dition to help our children to over
, come their faults. Often children are
cross and naughty because they are
over-tired. over-excited or hungry. We
must be sure that their naughtiness
does not come from some physical
reason that we can help. If child
is in a bad temper the first thing to
do is to quiet him. How? BY being
very quiet ourselves, but very firm,
letting him see our strength and poise
and then trying to find out what has
stirred him. BY our talking it over
with him and letting him pour it out.
his nerves will be freed and he will
have an outlet for his passion. If he
seems uncomfortable. and it is i'm
possible to talk with him, put him
hy himself until he is more calm.
While he is in temper be careful
not to leave him where he can break
or destroy anything. Often his out
burst is like a thunder storm, the
thunder and lightning are tremendous
while they last. but are soon over,
Then. just as soon as possible. divert
the child. get him interested and busy
about something.
A much harder type of child to deal
with and one that tries our patience
more, is the sullen child. He makes
no outlet for himself like the angry
child who vents his temper in screams
and passionate talk. His bad temper
works all on the inside. He broods
over the trouble. distorting and en-
larging It by dwelling upon it. He
usually refuses comfort or sympathy
and seems to enjoy shutting himself
away from everyone. He is usually
sensitive child-shy, lacking conf
dence in himself. inclined to dwell
upon himself too much. What can we
do with such child? He won't talk
the trouble out like the high-tem-
pered child, and 1t is uawise to put
him by himself as you would the high
tempered child. Give him something
to be busy about Just as soon as
possible. Work is even more neces'
sary for him than for any other type
