Teaching Little Children.

Parents must not look down upon the child and consider his efforts, trials and sorrows petty; we must try to understand how sincerely they put all their hearts into their play and that the losses that ‘seem so trivial, to us are of great moment to them. We must learn to share all their experiences with them if we would develop the fine feelings we wish to have at maturity. Children must not be shut off in one part of the house to remain aloof until a certain age, but ought to be part of the family circle, sharing in Joys, work and minor sorrows. I do not mean that children should be pushed before visitors, have all their meals at the family table or remain till their elders retire, but there are times and places where it is the children’s right and privilege really to be members of the family.—Exchange.
