family the children will often differ
very widely in natural disposition,

If mother has several children it is
almost certain that there will be one
among them who is naturally more
congenidl to her than the Others"
She paused, and then added with her
surprising frankness, for she is one
who openly admits what other people
are apt to conceal and deny even to
themselves, "Now my little girl is too
much like me for us to get along

strung too, and, frankly, she often
gets on my nerves. But little Frank

Another annoying symptom which

so that the fact becomes noticeable to
other people and even to the children
themselves.
In large families, we frequently see
parents who give q certain prestige
and power to the eldest, permitting
him to dictate to the whole family.
Even more frequently we see parents,
but especially mothers, who favor the
youngest child, granting him greater
consideration though expecting less
from him than from the others; in
short, petting him all through her life
time. middle children" are seldom
the recipients of extra favors unless
in the case of an only girl or an only
boy in a family of the opposite sex.

Partially Should Be Avoided.

Parents should watch very carefully
to avoid Partially, for if they do not,
the moment is sure to come when the
children will discover it. AS soon as
any such Partially becomes evident,

quality of jealousy are sown in his
sisters and brothers.
A childs nature should be allowed

love and trust By studying his needs,
parents can help to bring out the best

and lack Of sympathy which we regret
to see between parents and those
