So, out OF this little tale which
was related to me about Tommy.
We can learn that when we have
to forbid our children certain
activity because it annoys our
neighbors, we must substitute a
proper place and time. for these
same activities. Throwing. shout

own time and place. 1t is a nice
phase OF social adjustment to
train a child to discriminate as to
when it is proper and when it is
improper to indulge in these and
other activities which are annoy.
