OUR CHILDREN By Angelo patri

during thunder storms, but there are
many useful and absorbing tasks that
may be done.
Do not pull down the shades and
darken the house. That sets the stage
for screams of fear at every thunder
clap. Allow nobody to hide his head
under a pillow, or go down cellar TO
hide in a dark closet, or 20 to bed in
sheer terror. Hold the children In a
group with some good story, soma good
songs, some pleasant occupation. Give
them something TO think about and
they will lose their dread of the storm.
1t Is not wise to keep saying, Now
don't be afraid. 1t won't hurt you"
II you say anything about the storm
make 1t a positive statement about the
beauty and the service of 1t and ignore
the fearsome side. Hold your own
thought bravely to the task In hand,
and the children will follow you.
If you happen to have a child Who
grows pale at the first sign of a
thunder shower be very gentle. Keep
the child close to you and let him feel
your courage and faith and security.
Soothe his fear by your attitude rather
than your speech.
It helps some children to know the
scientific facts about the storm. II
helps some to watch it as 10 comes and
goes. 1t helps all of them to be busy
and serene as possible.
