Writer Declares.

(Twenty-first of of a Series)

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON ~~ The onlyievidence the mother has of her new baby having any men-

tality, or emotion of his own, is his| |

answering smile when she touches * his lips. Conduct reacts from the ¢ very first to “feelings,” you see. It "continues to do so through life. ~~ After a while baby learns to smile at other things, and even to laugh - out loud. Noise will please him, and .a bit of gentle rumpling. He learns to returncs smile for a smile, and to wiggle like a pleased little puppy when delighted. ~ Finally he learns meanings, such “as the sight of his pram being fixed for his ride, or mama with her hat on. ; As he learns to manage his body better and to have some control of his actions, his mind keeps pace, and so do his feelings. He learns to identify “his -friends, his own belongings and even pictures. He is a regular little copycat; too, and does what other people do.. He uses the touch system, but summons all his other senses as well. He learns le by looking than by doing. . Activity Means Mischief

‘The minute he is able to run around and climb, open drawers and get into closets, he is far more advanced in his thinking -than you may realize. His gain is your loss,

however, because life is a regular|

three-ringed-circus affair—for him, -:and he is all the more active right now, because he can fix his mind on one thing for a very few minutes only. We cannot expect him to be quiet and contented indefinitely, Just hauling his tiny cart about, because it is physically impossible for _ him to remain absorbed for long * minutes at a time. He is tearing the house inside ~ out now, as well- as risking his little neck, most of the day. He can’t help all this any more than we can help breathing. If he is “prevented too firmly and continuously, he will suffer only so long, and then he’s going to disappoint you. : -~ He may begin to keep you guess- ‘ ing by poor behavior. ‘Maybe he won’t eat. Perhaps he starts to suck his thumb. Maybe he gets tantrums over nothing. He may be- ’ come a cry-baby, or be quite deliberately destructive. io.

Unrestrained Curiosity

He is not fo blame. Nature says _to him, “You are my child. I com- _ mand you to use your y SO you

may learn a thousand things. That

is what I give you muscles. and |

. curiosity for. I was very particular to put ‘will’ into you first of all, for if I neglected that, you. wouldn't be brave enough to try. After a while, maybe in a year or twd, I have something else in surprise _ bag. You have it in you now, little fellow, but I won’t let you use too much of it yet. It is called ‘reason.’ “If I lét you use yo reason too soon,” says Mother Nature, “then you would be picking and choosing, besides ilstening too hard to those people around [you who tihnk they know so much. You have to learn, learn, learn. I have made you very, very curious. That's what you need. Activity and curiosity. Go right ahead and forget about the parlor lamp and the nice book. Break ’em, tear ’em and do as you please.” Mother, you haven't a bad baby. You have just a baby.
