YOUR _ CHILDREN ae GAS by IBA Serveslas There is a very bad habit that most children in a family fall into so easily and naturally that it is well estab- lished before the mother realizes it is a habit—then it is too solid to break. It’s the habit of not being able to say a decent word to one another. Let one child say anything, do any- thing, want anything, and instantly, up goes the flag. The others pounce on him like a pack of wolves. The merest expression of an idea brings down the scorn, wrath or ridicule of the others. Of course, it isn’t alwayes so drastic —but the monotonous bickering and wrangling that we are probably more familiar with is no less offensive. These are the things that wear mothers out. Few mothers mind ser- iously the work of keeping a honfe go- ing—what they do mind, the thing @| that tires and kills them, is worry. Much of the worry cannot be avoided, but much of it can, and the weari- some jangling of quarrelsome chil- dren is one of them.
