Before you know it there may be an awful scene, the core of which are your emotions and the child's. At the next meal similar emotions arise in you and the youngster, growing in force with time. Practi cally all eating problems in the chikt one, three or ten are chiefly emotional, as

as you can see. Mani- festly the parent bolds the strategic place. She can do most about it în arcordance with her self-control over her emotions.

Don't overlook the happy emotions which can win his co-operation in all such cases, not excepting eating: happily what la set before him.

In a Rago

Call to mind the boy in 'a rage arguing with the parent over her decision he dislikes, or the youth who sulks or grouches. Normally the emotions of his vex the parent who in turn furthers these unhappy emotions in him.

Consider all the arguments he- tween parent and child, the shrill, ugly voices stirring up all grenter anger in each other. Or all the parental Jawings or exhortations prousing more anger in the child as well as in the jawer and exhorter. Back and forth the emotions swing like a pendulum, only hitting harder with each swing.

Of course, no parent can hope to gain or even closely approach per- fection. Nevertheless, one truth is self-evident-every parent

can Im- prove in his relation to the child as this parent grows in the art of managing better and better his or her own emotions.
