PROPER GUIDANCE
 FOR CHILD VITAL
Sympathetic Understand. ing Shapes Future Course
 of Growing Youngster

An understanding of what chil- dren can do at @ given age and sym. pathetic, consistent help throughout the gradual change from infancy to adulthood are needed for the proper development of their physical struc- ture and mental behavior, James M. Cunningham, M. D., director of the bureau of mental hygiene, said i'll the weekly broadcast of the state department of health.
 In infancy the child's behavior is one in which all his wants and wishes may be obtained by merely crying for them. There is no re. sponsibility either for his own well fare or that of others. Dctor Gun ningham pointed out that this must change over a period of years until he is able obe responsible not only for his own needs but for his con- duct in relation to others.
 A child has to learn to eat @ great variety Of foods, and how to feed himself. He can be kept infantile by allowing him to develop food fads because of objection to new substances. or by continuing to feed him after he is capable of learning to feet himself. He has to learn con- trol of elimination. He has to learn to walk, talk, dress and wash. In all of these he should be helped to as- sume more responsibility so that he will gain greater satisfaction from this than he loses by giving up in- fantile behavior.
 Doctor Cunningham explained that if q child is to develop respon- sibility for work. he should start early to pick up toys and clothes, cleaning up his room, running er- randS about the house and doing various chores as he grows older. He not only needs to learn how to do those things, but to establish habits of doing them.
 It is important for child to learn how to play with brother and sister and neighbor children, Doctor Gum ningham said. If he is to make friends and enjoy play with others, selfish and infantile behavior will have to be modified. At school he will have to progress even farther in his ability to get along with chil- dren. Finally, he will have to learn responsibility for work and associa- ton with grown people of both sexes.
 Throughout the transition period from infancy to manhood or wman- hod. attention should also be given to the physical needs. Dctor Cum ningham said that the child must have enough food and 1t must be composed of a proper balance of all the essentials. He must have exer. else, rest and sunshine. All of those allow the natural processes of growth to occur. In addition, it is important to protect this develop ment against arrest or rotardation from infection with injurious organ isms. Not only will healthy. strong body be better able to resist infec- ton, but 1t should be protected by immunization against small pox. diphtheria, whOplng cough and scarlet fever.
