This has been the most be-auti- ful day, with the sun shining brightly on £he newly fallen, snow, and doubly appreciated af­ ter yesterday’s storm, It was much too nice to stay inside, so .1 hung my knitting bag onmy arm, and went down to ’see my friend,Helen,who-haS”bee<n”laid- low” for several weeks; ‘ / Helen yvas knitting too,” and as yye/ knitted we chatted . , . nat­ urally. The conversation turned to our neighbor’s children, other people’s children in general, and, of course, our own. It began by my telling a funny story that John told us at lunch about a little boy on our street. They were being shown slides at school this morning, and when the tea­ cher had takon the firtsi slide out and laid it aside, Earl pipes up, “Oh, Mr. N. could I have that old (film?” Earl is the great­ est collector of salvage one ever saw, brings home all sorts of junk, radio parts that he picks up behind shops, etc. However he didn’t get the “old film”. We often wonder what Earl's future holds for him . . . he certainly has a definite trend. Then we talked about a friend of Helen’s, who has-just acquir­ ed a baby daughter . . . a little ;sister for Billy, but how Billy was going, to take that, .was the question before' the house; Billy, about four, is already pretty well spoiled (so we figure). Other people have been taking care of ~Biliy”lat^ly^md^have“found-him- a bit of a handful; he is, ap­ parently a law unto himself. His dad hates to discipline him, and his ^mother even more _so. When dad comes in at day’s end, moth­ er regales him with the tale of Billy’s misdemeanours through the day, with Billy as interested audience too. The account is made to sound quite interesting, and I&lly stands by, looking quite smug. “He threw a can of peas across the kitchen right after I opened it”. I’ve never seen a child behave like that, but ap- patently they do. As Helen says, “She can’t do a thing with Kim”. You all know children like that, I’m sure. And if a child’s parents can’t do a thing with him, it is "pretty difficult for anyone else../ V /' I was’ mulling all this over in my mind-on the way-home, whiie- I was making toasted ham sand­ wiches and fruit salad for supper, and I thought of Dor island the problem child she raised. Doris was the cousin of my cousin’s wife, and her Peter came about, the same time as,, our John. We heard a great deal about Peter i and the wonderful child lie was . . . Cousin Frances kept us well posted. Then,-When he was about two years or so, we began to. hear about the temper tantrums Peter wold, ‘throw’ when he didn’t get just whet he wanted, when he wanted it. He would howl and kick and howl some more, until-’ his mother and grandmother would- grant. Him his- present, desires. Usually small .fry can. get away with more with grandmothers than With , mothers, but in this' case, grand- tensionable frame of mind. And Mr. read;1 recently that a warm bath is the solutiin to practically ‘all problems. Poor, John has . never been so consistently clean . in his life . ... . every argument that: comes up, he gets sent to > take a warm bath! But to return to Peter . . he ,. became more and more unman­ ageable, until finally one night lie hit an all time high, and in the middle of hjs tantrum' sud­ denly went limp. Naturally he terrified the family, and they sent—forthe--Doctor.-Throughall— these fits of temper the child had -developedl^distihct_heart_wndi^_ tion, and the Doctor warned them that they must not allow him to cry, nor cross him in any way. From then on when he made a demand it was instantly obeyed . . . if he Wanted 4 chocolate bars and 3 bananas at 8 minutes. be-. fore lunch time, no one dated to say no! The Doctor said he would always have to be careful, would . never be able to run or .play ball, or lead the life of a normal boy. I used to think how little he ' would thank^his mother when he grew up so handicapped. I still think, regardless of how little" I know of the problems that arise from tempers, that there is no difficulty in child training that ’ can’t be overcome,• if .started early enough, with an earnest ef­ fort td seek the wisest course, and not the line of least resist­ ance.! also felt very sorry for the child’s father, and how dis- zappointing. it would be to come home to a child who was so hand­ icapped physically, all because he had been allowed td become a spoiled brat. I thought he had the right to "expect;/’to~’conie’'ih0me'"to”;” a son he could be proud of. A diet of chocolate bars, bananas and ice cream soon made Peter , fat and pasty-faced, a most Un- ' healthy looking child. I realize that this sounds like a greatly exaggerated case history, but it could actually ^happen . . . be­ cause it DID happen. Then Petet’s father came home, . and he proved to be a very sens­ ible person. He realized that as much harm was being done to Peter’s health by allowing him • to run his own five-year-old life as if he had to submit to some discipline. He had the voice and assurance of authority, ahd his ‘No’ carried weight. Peter’s health and disposition improved so much ’ that now, i believe, it is possible fdr him to lead the life of a nor­ mal boy/ To me, it is not only foolish, [but unkind to allow a child to | have and do; whatsoever his . I heart desires. In his later r cl a- iences with life itself,' he won't find his. Will is supreme. He has : ; to be conditioned to some dis­ appointments, and learn to take them, in his stride. When John was about four, I used, to say to him, “You. won’t ,.';- | always get your, own way in lif(< and you might/just as well be­ gin, to learn that right now”. I . didn’t know how well he undei r stood what I was trying to im­ press on him, but my observa­ tion. has been that they get, more than you think they do. 1 He must have got the drift y . . one day. I overheard an argument between him and a playmate, over Something: each wanted John completely squashed the playmate ,'by quoting me, word . for word, in a voice of assurance.
