DON'T EXPERIMENT
Believe In Your Children
By Dr. Marion Mackenzie
"HE is a bad boy, doctor," is a 11phrase I have heard almost daily from mothers. The fathers I have had little opportunity of seeing. though I hear a great deal about them, and find that the mother who belleves in her baby usually believes In

un-
family" is no ruere catch phrase, but
very Ilving reality. In the happy family the baby usually comes off worst as he cannot defend him- self.

This smali Berap of Humanity understands an ungry voice when he is a few days old. Later, when his mother brings him and says he is “n bad boy," I have seen his eyes full of resentment before he could either talk or walk-just as a foreigner is able to understand a language before he can speak 11.
The problem lies in the parents. The child is brought beenuse, he, is naughty or , will not ent, or cannot sleep, is bad tempered, and so on. The parent should come instead and Bay frankly, "What is the matter with me? I have made a mess of things. Will you help me lo straighten them over

Three Types
10
No normally healthy child is "bad, though his environment often makes him so, his environment being his parents, his nurse, his teachers, &c. There are, however, three types of children who become problems-the pampered child, the child who is not wanted, and the child with some form of physical inferiority,
In each type there is tracenble the seeds of the child's disbellef in him- self. He fails to believe in himself, when his parents do not believe in him. The pampered child may get a rude shock when he gets out of his protected situation where he is no langer pampered. Even where the parents have pampered him dimcult for them to continue to be- lieve in him, as the spoilt child be- comes such a thorn la the flesh they are irritated with him. The result is a feeling of uncertainty,

Children need a stable background. They need to know where they stand in their parents' regard. Obviously the child who is not wanted is not believed in or he would no the dis- liked. The unfortunate child may be the favourite of one parent, the other parent having been dethroned for the child to take his place. Parents should guard against this and catch themselves up when they tend to find fault with the child of whom they are jealous. Their very attitude towards the child will make him naughty.

Parents Need Not Despair
Parents need not despair about any physical inferiority in their children, Indeed they can believe In them more than ever, as again and again the result of such luferiority has been to make them compensate for it by outdistancing their fellow men. There are compensations for chil- dren even when their parents foolish enough not to believe in them, their very sense of inferiority will make them strive to outdistance others.
