TEACHING BABY TO DRINK
FROM GLASS.
(Thanks to Mrs. c. G. r.
Chevy Chdse.)
For Mrs. r. I. NJ, Bethesda: To
arouse your sons interest In drink
Ing milk from a glass, buy several
small, plain glasses at the 5 and 10
and on the bottom of each affix q
decal transfer (Which you will also
find at the and 100. You might
select transfers which have an es-
pecial appeal to him, such as q kit
ten, duck, fish, sailboat, bear, bird,
child, etc. The selection offered Is
varied and excellent.
Then you can say to him as you
offer the milk, II wonder what you'll
find at the bottom of your glass,
when your milk is all gomez" Thus
bringing in the element of surprise,
which any child dearly loves. And
varying the glasses adds further in
terest. This procedure has worked
like charm in many obstinate cases
of which have known, even when
the child was under a year.
At first give him q very small
portion Of milk and slowly increase
it. Remember that milk is very
filling, and that too large a portion
will dull his appetite for the rest of
the meal. He will not drink as much
from a glass as he did from a bot
tie, because of the other foods now
added to his diet, but, by little use
OF Imagination, you can give it to
him in other forms, such as bread
or rice pudding, any flavor custard,
orange, lemon, raspberry, chocolate,
vanilla or maple junket, ice cream,
etc. A small glass of milk at each
meal Cor a cup of cocoa at break
fast) plus two milk desserts q day
will give him the necessary daily
quota.
Finally when he does drink his
milk, praise him for drinking 1t,
and for the job well done. Thus he
will win your attention and ap-
proval for having drunk it. rather
than gaining your attention and
disapproval for refusing to drink 1t.
In praising a child never say
you're good boy to drink your
milk"-for being good has no con-
nection with his milk and whether
or not he drinks 1t. Rather say
my, what q fine Job you did in
drinking your milk" The child
always tries to attain an adults
level. for accomplishments in any
task undertaken-so praise the
completion Of the task and not the
child. i X X
