As q result 1t Is operating on 9
drastically reduced budget until
dad starts earning again.
Natalie Is finding the new AZ
raneement particularly hard. The
set In which she travels Is the
same, so that her needs haven't
changed. She Is dissatisfed at her
inability to keep up with her
friends.
The parents who have explained
the financial situation again and
again are convinced that Natalie
refuses to, understand because she
doesn't want TO. The girl q re-
peatedly charged with selhshness

parents are confused and hurt.

blame on the child and In not

fourteen years, their daughter
merely had to ask to receive and

As long a. they discuss their
child's faults with grandmother,

MY advice to the parents Is to
concentrate on training In give

ing much over the least act OF
kindness or cooperation on the
child,s part. This Will not only
serve to restore their own faith In
the child but should create n
