ity on Juvenile Problems.
~ ARENTS everywhere are
now disposed to engage in
Il a persistent quarrel with
their children Of the adolescent
grade. And the bone OF conten-
ton is chiefly related to the
moral and social conduct OF the
young generation.
The parent holds to one stand
ard of behavior, usually the
"when I was young" standard.
The young defendant holds to
another. Out Of it there grad
ually develops habit of resist
ance and resentment as to all
parental advice.
Carefully considered, 1t proves
that the plaintiff in this case
Is really engaged in a contention.
not with his fifteen-year-old, but.
with the young generation of that
age. He Is attacking their ac-
cepted standards of right and
wrong In conduct and his methods
are destructive and doomed to
failure. There is far better
why to handle this troublesome
affair, as follows:
First, select some worthy act or
deed of the boys and praise it. 1t
will surprise the youth somewhat,
perhaps, to have you commend
him. II. will also tend to disarm
his power of resistance.
Next, show an interest in some
social project or purpose of his.
Ask him to tell you about 1t, listen
attentively and try to evince real
pleasure in his account. II 1t is a
kind Of party you have been OBJ
tecting to, suddenly turn about and
help him plan for it. The boy will
follow your lead by trying to i'm
prove his conduct respecting the
affair.
Finally, start at once the prac-
tice of talking to your contentious
boy In low, soft tone. / find that
ouarrels between parents and chill
dren are invariably conducted in
the loud, high key of debate. This
habit tends to increase anger and
10 destroy reason. You cannot pos
sibly quarrel in low, gentle tones.
Lower your voice to the pianissimo
and the boys loud laundering will
then also quickly drop to a low
KEY. and the quarrel will as sud-
denly end. Try this psychologist
method Of ending a quarrel and
YOU will be surprised and delighted
at the results.
1t is the law of like begets
like-anger begets anger, conten-
ton begets contention, gentle
ness begets gentleness, conf
dence begets confidence, love be-
gets love. The opposition Of
your quarrelsome boy melts away,
resistance wanes, anger dies, Ill.
will yields--aIl this bitterness
crumbles to +naught before the
subtle influence of a gentle. az.
fectionate tone OF conversation.
Whatever your boy Tor your
girD becomes, the elements Of Il
will be found within the recesses
of his own nature. All the
powers Of accomplishment are
latent there and waiting TO be
aroused for action. Not your at.
