SUGGESTIONS.

We travel constantly and I alway
buy the local papers but never hav'

First Of all on children, biting.
have discovered this: When a chill,
bites he does it because he can
usually defend himself any othe
way. Often he is playing with chill
dren who are older, more aggressiv
or larger than he. Usually they pu
up with being put upon" for a lon
time before they discover this mean
of getting even. 1t is most impor
tant to remember that it is only
phase, but if it gets too bad and |
used eventually against younge
children or everybody with no dis
elimination, the one sure cure is t
quickly, swiftly and sharply bit
them back. I know the child ply
sicians are against such things as
rule, but. sometimes experienc
teaches you such discipline is nee
essary.
I had seven younger brothers ant
sisters, worked with children grea
deal before by marriage and nov
have some of my own, so I knoy
whereof I speak.
Each child is different, but m
theory is the sooner a child learn
the world is not his private oyste
the happier for everybody.
