Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Children pick up all kinds Of small
habits and continue them to the morti-
fcation and annoyance Of their par
ents. Parents are quick to comment
upon any unusual behavior of the child,
and endeavor to bring it to an end.
Suppose the child gets a cinder in his
eye For hours he blinks, and his eye
waters until the offending particle is
removed. Then because Of the slight
irritation he may continue to blink,
and eventually his mother says, Nov
stop that winking, Edward. you make
me frightfully nervous" With his at
tention fixed on the winking, Edward
goes on winking and blinking and be-
comes an accomplished winker, doing
IL whether he wills or no. Then the
whole family notices 1t, and each one
individually does his bit to stop it.
AS you perhaps know already, Edward
is so imbued with the idea that he does
wink and must stop winking that he
goes right on with renewed vigor.
Small habits grow from inconsequen-
tial beginnings and are watered and
weeded and brought TO q luxuriant
bloom by attention. It doesn't make
much difference what kind of attention
it is, nagging, scolding or shaming, all
attentions are impressive, for they keep
the child aware Of his nervous habit and
1t cannot die.
When one notices a new habit, the
first step is to find out whether it has
some real physical basis Blinking
constantly might be the first indication
Of eye-strain. Smiling might mean that
there was a real nasal obstruction and
that the shifting made the child's nose
feel clearer for the moment. But 80
many habits are picked up in imitation
of some one else. The power OF sug-
gestion Is undeniabls, and schoolmate
with slight cough or one who shrugs
his shoulders becomes a powerful in
centive for the whole class to develop
hacking and shoulder Struggling.
These habits would soon be forgotten
by the child If the parents took less
obvious means of trying to wipe them
out 1t would be pretty dull business
to be shoulder Struggling If no one ever
noticed 1t or said please, please don't
do that againl I'll give you something
nice If you'll promise not to do 1t. 1t
looks so silly" Being q smart aleck''
would lose half its flavor If there
weren't an audience to laugh, or say
indulgently, Nov dor't show off," All
Of these temporary habits need atten-
tive appreciation from some one in order
to continue.
In our leafiet on Nervous Habits
(send q self addressed, stamped envelope
with your request to this department
If you want copy, we suggest the kind
/ of treatment which ends these habits
quickly II they are just picked up hab-
its with no real physical basis. do you

Why I never see you," or tive no.
ticed that you never grit your teeth any
more at night" Thus she clears the
way and builds up the child's confidence
that the habit Is dying. This Is the
first step In its actual demise.
