Therefore the wise mother will inke up the attude of "I'm here close t han, but outs here to help you to help yourself." Often requires a great deal of courage and self-restraint to lake such a stand, but the children will thank us for doing so later on.

If you follow my advice you will make thie meetings casier for him, cutting sandwiches perhaps and providing cer- Lain funds for cheap train fares for himself and a couple of friends so that
