CHILDISH FEARS MAY TAKE TOLL i OF WHOLE LIFE Don’t Try to Control by Fright or Baby May Be ‘Cringer.’ Bobby’s childish fears may grow up with him, so that he will never be quite fear from their warping effects. That’s how important it is for a parent to guard against these fears. A parent should not try to control a child by threatening him or frightening him. A child may never get over the crying attitude which would be implanted by repeated threats that the policeman “will get him.” Fear of the doctor is sometimes just as unreasonably suggested.. Remember that a child has almost no fears that are not taught to him. Do not read stories to the child which suggest cruelty or terror. Some of the familiar fairy stories are quite unsuitable for this reason. Never threaten a child who has done wrong. Do not even hint at a fear of the dark. Threats of witches, wild animals, thunder or lightning are not “natural” fears. They are taught to the child—either deliberately or suggestively. So the parent must take the responsibility for the child s shrinking from such fears. If a child is wary of new situations, he should not be pushed into them harshly. He may be gradually introduced to new combinations of circumstances so that fears will not be cultivated. Os course a parent may banish many unreasonable fears .from a child by merely taking the time to explain them away.

Cecile ... 32 Weeks

Babies often start very young to put in their mouths anything they can handle. The “quins’ ’were slow about this. Here's Cecile Dionne showing the technique. IMAGINATION JS NEEDED Parents Should Respect Mood, but Not in Excess. The small child often likes to play in a spirit of “Let’s pretend” in a make-believe world. It is well for a parent to respect and enter into the spirit of such play. The imagination of the child should be helped to grow in a wholesome direction. But this makebelieve play should not occupy a child’s whole time. Play with real children and real toys should be a larger part of his life.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

PROPER STEPS PREVENT MANY CHILDDISEASES None of Ailments Trivial, Because of Dangers of After-Affects. Parents, dreading that their child will catch one of the so-called “children’s diseases,” should know of the precautions which will build protection around the child. Diphtheria is preventable. A substance called toxoid should be injected into the child’s arm vbile still young. Three doses, a week apart, will guard the child against diphtheria for many years, probably for life. The toxoid does not make the child ill and does not leave a scar. Immunity develops in three to six months later after the injections. To make sure that immunity is complete, the child should take a Shick test, six months afterward. Even a mild case of scarlet fever is not a trivial thing, for it often brings incurable after-effects. To guard against the child’s exposure, remember that the disease is spread by discharges from the mouth or nose of a person who has the disease or is a carrier. Children and adults should be taught to cover each cough and sneeze, to avoid who are coughing, and to use only" their own personal belongings, such as handkerchiefs, washrags and towels. The first symptoms of scarlet fever are nausea and vomiting and sore throat, headache and fever. These are likewise the symptoms of a common cold. Therefore two health rules should be observed: avoid persons with colds, and treat

an apparent cold cautiously for it may be something worse. When a child shows such symptoms, the doctor should be called at once. The child should be put to bed, while awaiting his visit. The disease is most catching in its early stages, so the child should be isolated from other members of the family. And the person who is caring for the child must use the same precautions as if she were already sire that the trouble is scarlet fever. If it is scarlet fever, the doctor will report the case and will explain quarantine rules. Parents take a dangerous attitude when they say: “Oh, the child might as well have measles early and get over with it.” It is not better to have measles early just to get through with it. The older the child is, the less likely he is to suffer a severe attack. The longer the baby is protected, the better it will be for him.

CONTINUED FEEDING OF CHILDREN IS BAD Independence Is Learned by Table Manners. Does your child still expect you to feed him, though he is old enough to be doing it for himself? This is a bad food habit. After he was 2 years old, perhaps you fed him because it was quicker for you. It is hard to teach a baby to feed himself. It takes time. Now he is 3 years old. He has not learned to be independent. He must learn to manage his own spoon and food, as soon as possible. Let the 1-year-old baby try to feed himself. He will spill some at first. Let him do so. He will learn a valuable lesson.
