PROBLEM CHILD

THERE does the problem

Wchild come from? Is he

born or is he made? Will my baby become a problem child?

Take the second question. Without doubt heredity is a strong factor, so that the pro- blem chlid is, partly at any rate, born.

This seems to be a case of here- dity,

A child of this kind requires the most loving sympathy and care, a helping hand along his rough road. Such a child, i for tunate in his choice of occupation, may become the brightest blossom on the family tree, but much de- pends on his treatin.nt at home and at school.

THERE is no use in trying to bully such a child. Let all parents

and all teachers remember that an ounce of guidance is worth a ton of correction.

When such a boy is seen to be behaving properly, give him a pat on the back." This will help more than continually chiding when he does wrong.

Most of the children we refer to as 'probleme" are not born pro- blems, but are the product of foolish parents. You can see such "problems" being made every day;. and more of them now, it would' seem, than ever.

"No."

"Come into the house, darling." says the modern mummy. answers the darling child-and gets nway with it

I know of a family where the children are a nuisance to all the neighbours, and I asked one of these neighbours, "What kind of a mother have they?" "Oh, she goes in for psychology and that sort of thing, but here a little learning is a dangerous thing. The woman has probably read some- where, "Let the child develop his own personality. Refrain from continually saying 'Don't do this and

A little of that may be all right, but where a child becomes an all-round nuisance it has ob- viously had too much freedom in "developing Its personality, plain English, it has been pain- pered, and the pampered child be- comes the problem child.

I am always sorry when I see parents stupid their loving. They are kind-hearted people, soft if you like to call them so, and they have not the heart to correct. Such parents are bad parents.

So much for the pampered child. Other problem children created by harsh parents, usually a harsh father, a well-meaning man who goes the wrong way about training his children.

This type of parent is not so common. "Pamprers" are far com- moner than "tyrants." There are not many fathers nowadays of the type in The Barrelts of Wimpole "The Street." "Hatter's Castle," House with the Green Shutters." Such men were not uncommon last century but they have, fortunately, for the most part, died out.

CURIOUSLY, most of these men were strongly religious, but so highly egotistic that, wrapt in their religion, they felt they could do

no wrong.

People talk a lot to me about sending Colonial troops to Ireland to help in her protection, but I do not agree with that sden 1 think the fish would object.

I do not think, however, that the problem of providing for the de- tence of Ireland against German Evasion very dirull I thank that they would object fur forcibly to an Invasion by Ger~ many than they would to invest- meni by British troops, and I think they would welcome those troops if it were put to them in the proper

way.

The Irish are a Catholic people and the Germuns are not.

*

I SUGGEST it should be put to the Irish in this manner. It should be explained to them that Ireland is a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations and that the great ad- vantage she enjoys as a mem- ber is the protection of the Royal Navy and the other armed forces, and that in times of danger she is entitled to claim the protection of these forces.

Far from objecting to the assist- unce of British troops the Irish ought to be the first people to ask for it.

I suggest that if it were put to the Irish people in this way they would Immediately demand that British naval and military forces be sent to protect them from Ger- man invasion. It should also be pointed out to them that the Pope is on our side, and that the British troops who would go to Ireland would spend a lot of money in the country.

AS to the main conduct of the war, I do not believe in the blockade as a means of conquering Germany.

:

We have got to fight Hitler. 1 never have belleved in blockading, and in the present case we have to blockade not only Germany but most of the countries of Europe. Starving your enemy may prevent you from fighting to n Anish.
