JANE JORDAN
DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I always have hated to see parents love one child more than another, but I am afraid I am going to do just that. I have a daughter of nine and a son of six. My littie girl is very pretty with blond curls, but she is hateful and talks back to me. She fights with her playmates and brags that she has prettier dresses than they, or a newer toy. My little boy is not pretty, but is'® very sweet child. I never have to tell him to comb his hair or put his clothes away. She leaves hers where they fall." We never petted him for he doesn't like it. He worships his sister and divides with ‘her, but she throws toys in his face more often than not. I never show my feelings but I am afraid I am beginning to love Wy son better. He will say to me, “Mother is there something I can do for you?” If I ask her a little favor she says, “Do it yourself. I'm not supposed to wait on you.” What is wrong with my child? I want to love her the same, but could you? ANXIOUS MOTHER.
¥ ~~
Answer—Very few parents realize what a blow it is to a petted only child to be confronted with a rival baby brother or sister. Your daughter was three years old when her brother was born. As your first, and at that time your only child, she had received a great deal of attention. You expected her to welcome the baby as you did. words, you expected her to react as an adult, but she was only a baby Hy unable to examine reality. All she saw was that she
In other
was not cherished as formerly, and she took it as a lack of love, for -
which she has been punishing you ever since. . 1am sure you were unconscious of betraying your pride in having a son. You don’t remember the times you have bragged about what a good baby you had. Somewhere along this period your daughter got the idea that she had lost much of her value in your eyes. The fact that she was wrong about it is no help, for nobody told her she was wrong. It is not that she thinks these things out. She is ruled by a feeling which no child can put into words. Why do you think she boasts about her pretty dresses and new toys except to make herself feel important? Why does she throw
, toys in her brother’s face unless she is jealous and full of hostility?
Your cue is to drop all criticism of her behavior. Simply ignore
her attempts to irritate you. She needs constant reassurance of your .
Jove and interest. This you can show by-a consistent and perfectly fair attitude. You cannot indulge her one moment and scold her the next. Praise for her virtues and mild disapproval for her faults is what she needs. Gradually push small responsibilities off on her. When she fullfills them, thank her cordially. .In order to enjoy your approval she will ask for thifigs to do,’ as your son. does. Avoid all comparison wtih her brother. Never praise him in her presence. Find ways to make her feel important to you and stress her value to the household. Above all let her feel that a girl is as valuable as a boy. Your problem isn’t hard, but you have six years to undo. You can't expect immediate results. JANE JORDAN. Put your problems in a letter to Jane Jprdan whe will answer your questions
