Believe In Your Children

By Dr. Marlon Mackenzie

"HE

E is a bad boy, doctor." is u phrase I have heard almost daily from mothers. The fathers 1 have hnd Ittle opportunity of seeing. though I hear a great deal about them, and find that the mother who belleves in her baby usually belleves father too. "The happy family" in no mere catch phrase, but a very living reality. Itz the happy family the baby usually comes off worst as he cannot defend him- self.

This small scrap of humanity understands an angry volce when he

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

on.

The parent should come instead and say frankly. "What is the nantter with me? I have made a mess of things. Will you help me to straighten them out?"

Fathers should take themselves more seriously, too. Indirectly, by helping to create the atmosphere of the home, they ст contribute enormnasty to the stability of their children's nervous systerns. Just be- catee he is not always with them, a father often shows an extraordinary understanding of the child's dilleult- les, bul, unfortunately, he is apt to think is "not his job."

Three Types

some

No normally healthy child is "bad, though bis environment often mukes him so, his environment being his parents, his nurse, bis 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 form of physical inferiority.

In cach type there is traceable the seeds of the child's disbeliet in him Bell. He fails to belleve in himself. when his parents do not believe in him. The pampered child may get a rude shock when he gets out of hls protected situation where he is no longer pampered. Even where the parents have pampered him it is difficult for them is continue to be- lleve in him, as the spoilt child be- comes such a thorn in the flesh they are irritated with him. The result is a feeling of uncertainty, as one moment he is spoilt and the next he is scolded or punished.

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 chlid 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

Parents Nerd Not Despair

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

I was surprised, as he had always been such a good child before. Ile kicked his mother, he klekked me, he kicked over a cholt, and he kicked over a table. I asked his mother to go out of the room. She went reluctantly, saying as she went, "He will kick you again, doctor.”
