Children want to be aide to like
their parents, to respect them and
in later life to look back and
realize that their parents have
given them the, good things 'in
life, Mrs. Ewan Ross, of the Huron
County ' Children's Aid Society, said
in the first of a series of lectures
last Friday night at the Baptist
Church at the School for Parents.
Mrs. Ross entitled her address
"Seeing Through the Child's Eyes.''
At one year, she said, the child
is asking, "Can people be trusted?"
At this stage, she said, parents
should prove prove tothe child that they
can be depended upon. At a year
and one-half, the child is asking,
"Am -I a ge t i
para e, ndeperident
being; can I get along alpne?" He
wants to explore things and tries
to do everything himself..
- At fotiq he. asks, "Dog have the
right to express My will and dream
y dreams?" This: is the year he is
nnaginative, curious and fufl of
questions'. In this year, she spg-
gested, parents should be consist-
ent and avoid killing the child's
initiative.
