Guiding Your Child
NyMa FARExn

By Ma ASnes Iyue At . sunmer camp for little chill dren the director dreaded nothing % much as the days when certain par- eats came to vtsat.
 Throughout the week the childrea played blithely in the grassy orchard or splashed merrily in the brook. They were busy from sunrise to sum- ret with all the things that should concsrn . child.
 Tho director. . mother herself. possessed unusual skill and sym- pathy with children. They came to her quite naturally with every new and wonderful thing. g fat green caterpillar from the alder bush or | basket they had made from little green burrs. They clambered on her lap when they were tired or just to have . confidential chat They were free and happy and wonderfully good. Then Sunday would come with it's visitation of adoring parents. Some behaved quite well. erecting their children with quiet affection. playing with them, seeing things and doing through throughout the hours of the visit. cheerfully sayin9 goodbye at last without emphasis on the pain of separation. Others made of their visit an orgy of emotion. They greeted their children with tears in their eyes. Hadn't mothers baby missed his own mummy at all? Didn't he want to come back home with his dear daddy and mummy?
 When. as generally happened. the child answered "No," he was work ed on until. by sugssstion. he was reduced to walls of homesickness. At parting the farewells were long drawn and fearful. Father and
 mother could not bear to believe that their child actually could be happy away from them.
 Parents who demand of their chill dren perpetual evidence of depend-
 ent affection areenot true parents at
 all. The parental love accords to the child the emotional freedom to
 live directly through hts own inter
 ests, to know and enjoy for himself
 the beckoning world.
