Vital
In happiness
OF Child

| 80 many mothers have written me
recently on various aspects OF the pro-
blem of disobedience, that / am deyot-
ling today's space to q general consid-
era ton Of that very important topic.
L. If it win not seem trite, ! should
first like to ask Why do we want
-Four children to obey? IL 1t simply
that we may control their actions to
| suit our own convenience? Or is 1t
| perhaps because demonstrating our
power over others is pleasing TO our
vanity? Unworthy as these motives
must instantly reveal themselves, I
cannot help but wonder rs read be-
tween the lines of some Of your letters
to what extent they enter into the
determination Of the attitude OF many
parents toward their children. II my
suspicious are founded on fact land
you must be unsparingly honest when
asking Does this apply to NEIL, then
we have already solved the disobedience
| problem OF many parents. For these are
unworthy motives, and the first rule
for obtaining obedience reads; Be
worthy.
Children must be taught obedience
in order to prepare them for social
| living.
II you would merit obedience, be
understanding. This you can only
truly be as you learn to live again
with your children. II you do this,
you wiz soon find yourself so thor
oughly in sympathy with your child
that the thousand little "don'ts" with
which you were accustomed to bonn
bard him daily-and which vexed him
so--wili vanish as a mist before the
sun Of understanding. You will realize
that children must handle things to
learn how they work, and that they
must climb and tear just to see how
| it's done. And so, almost unknowing-
ly, you will one day find that, quite
without seeking it, you have won not
only wisdom and understanding but
the confidence OF little child.
But you must also realize that yours
is the tremendous responsibility of
preparing this child for the stern re-
alities of life. From his earliest days
every child must learn the lesson of
Self-denial. The boy or girl whose
every within has been granted by an
Eoverfond mamma is pitifully poorly
armed against the all too certain dis
appointments and denials of t0-mor-
Irow. Therefore, if you would merit
obedience, be firm.
But in your firmness be consistent.
II the prohibitions of today meet the
sanction of tomorrow, can you blame
the child for responding to your COM
mands as though they were but the
whims of passing fancy? And what
must be the effects upon the child Of
countless untitled threats and prom
Uses forgotten? How can the growing
mind attribute, law and order where
none exist? You frame policy for
your business. Your job as parents
demands that you do the same at home.
Study your child and his surroundings,
yourselves included. With the wisdom
that the years have brought you, for
mulate a policy for the proper train
ing of your child on which both mother
and father cen agree. Then adhere to it,
and you shall merit obedience. For then
you shall be consistent.
If you would merit obedience, be
sensible. Do you fret and worry about
your child? Do you fear when he goes.
