COTTON WOOL KIDDIES

OMETIMES I think parents are luelined to protect their children from danger by giving too many warnings with a negative trend. Instead of "Mind, you will fall," it saying, would often be so much better to may, "Do carefully, and then you won't fall."

The negative warning must bring into the childin mind n, picture of en tumble, and paralitu cuts or bruses. and thin is not really the best way of tenching him to avoid danger.

On the other hand. “Do carefully," gives the youngster some sense of in-v dependence and makes him feel that Its rafety depends upon his own com m sense and good judgment.

To-day, I nm talking to parents who are over-arious in this matter of nail accidents. You will ner that in fanny case they are crossing bridges before they are renched, thus giving themselves uknerenary anxiety and quite often instillbur à manng of frar Into the child whos is horn fearless. -

All you can do now is to let him mulen friends with the sen entirely on his own and without any help on your part. Take him down to the beach and let him play in the sund well away from the water's ere. bul do not discourage his playing

They will be his guides and soon. engrossed in play he is likely to wan- der down to the water's edge, and to enjoy the fun of splashing in the small waves. Bathing in deeper water win only be a matter of time after that though he may not agree to try that at all this suminer.

Active Toddlers

Will you advise me? tells me that i should not let our toddler walk much until he is 12 months old. Ho to a very active child who began to " feel his feet" al about eight months,

A your boy is not overweight and has no sign of bow-leggedness, IL should be perfectly safe to allow him to toddle about now, provided he gets frequent rests during the day and is not constantly on his feet

The age at which children begin to walk varies enormously, but I have known many babies, who, like yours, 'were quite steady on their feet at from 12 to 13 months. It is a mistake lo curb their nelivities unduly.
