FEAR A MENACE TO CHILDREN
II is surprising how many children
leave their homes to enter into ,
larger social sphere with fear In
stilled into their thoughts. II al
mothers could realize that fear is {
most menacing disease surely few
er children would enter the kinder
garten with trembling.
Most kindergarten or primary
teachers have at some time felt the
pang Of seeing a child show fear
Frequently teacher wonders why
she does not win the whole-hearted
loving response which most children
SO readily give to the efforts of a
sympathetic friend. No child can
give HIS best attention when there is
present a dread of what might hap
pen II he makes a mistake. Be that
sensation of fear ever so vague, 1t
will check ready expression of the
thoughts and retard natural, normal,
mental development.
All teachers and public welfare
workers will testify that many pa
rents and relatives threaten children
with various direful punishments to
be administered by policemen, doc
tors, teachers, COLLINS and numerous
imaginary things.
A five-year-old boy entered a pri-
mary room in September. His eyes
we're weak. That, however, did not
explain his evident fear of the teach
er. If she approached him to help
him he invariably crouched to one
side and never once responded with
more than a questioning half smile
to her efforts to put him at ease. OF
course, she called upon the child's
mother. During the conversation the
mother said, I'VE want him to mind
and we told him that you would al
most beat him to death if he didn't.
think he believes us, too"
She seemed quite proud that her
BOY would "obey" not seeming to
that submission is not al
ways discipline. To the teacher it
was pitiful. The child's effort to see
'esulted in an inevitable nervous ]
strain. Through fear of consequences |
he answered questions incorrectly
lie was no doubt silent at times when |
lie could have responded. And he
made other mistakes by his
1t is not only teachers who must
contend with consequences of such
course. A few days ago I saw
hid who was ill scream and pull the
overs over her head as the physi-
ian neared the bed. "If you don't
ush the doctor will grab your
ongue," said the mother. OF course,
he child's fear was only increased.
it was impossible to accu-
ately diagnose her case as she had
Torked herself into a serious nerv-
us state.
Later the same physician remark
j to me, why don't people teach
hildren that we want to help, not
urt them?" He then cited many in
.ances where the adults had threat
ned children with "the doctor" if
ley didn't obey. For obvious rea-
ms such a course is very unfair /,
the physicians and the children
no gain such harmful conceptions.
Every child should learn that I'M
easant consequences inevitably
llow certain actions. But to teach
child to fear individuals, real or
nciful, is an injustice to the child,
those who are to share the respon-
bility of guiding him and TO each
ember of the society of which he
scomes a part. 1t is through knowl-
lge and not fear that he learns

es of right and laws of society,"
