—— Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. 0., FEBRUARY 12, 1928—PART 3. 11 ‘The conscientious mother may have trained the baby well during the first year, but if she has another baby, in whom her interests are centered, she s very likely to let the good habits of the runabout gather moss. The child is meeting new situations every day and he nceds constant adjustment to them. The new habits he is forming need solidification just as did his car- lier habits of eating and slecping and Faving his recreations at regular hours. There is every reason why most of the habits of a child should become as At night if he wets the bed, he should be wakened at regular hours, by the use of a clock, until he wakens without it. The ideal condition is for the child to sleep through the night without waking, but this condition 1s not always reached even in adulthood. so why expect it of & child. As wilh the da¥ time habits, spanking, scolding. ridicule and sarcasm are usually wasted. What should be donc is to train to good habits and leave out the bitter pills ot punishment. Happy dinner /hours are an ideal machine-like and unthinking as pos- | Children love little ceremonies connect- sible. s0 as to release his energy for | more important things.

These can be taught most easily | by doing them day after day. in exactl: the same way. and not talking about | them Soon the child expects. even an- | ticipates, the happening and once he has shouldered the responsibility of it. the problem is over, as far as the | mother is concerned.

This is her idea of shaming him out of it. Be honest, mothers, you know it doesn't work.

Going to the totlet, washing their hands and faces, pulling out their chairs, taking napkins, wait- ing expectantly to be served, all have ar appeal. The child wants to do each thing the same way cach day, not one way today and some other way (om(‘l; 1 mother slips up on a ceremony, she ‘merely publishes to the child that it wasn't as important as she has tried to make him believe it was.

Suppose he does leave streaks on his face, overlook them and praise him for the effort he made washing hi: face. Soon you can trust him to do it satisfactorily and without your remin- der. Normal children learn rapidly, it they get any pracfice. It 1s wise not to be too impatient \f he doesn't arrive at each new stage of ability and competence as rapidly as his mother would wish. Scolding and nagging sour him on the whole thing. It doesn't take much to turn a child against even good habits. After all, good habits should seem as pleasant as bad ones, and they can be, unless th2 mother tangles up the child's idea; of what he should and should not do by her constant and dramatic exhorta- | tions concerning them.

They each held two eggs in their hands and one had also a small oil can. Their mission was a journey to the store to get four eggs’ worth of kerosene oil. However, conditions have changed and are changing every year for the farmer's wife. Ten years ago hard- surfaced roads began to be built through the countryside, passing right y or very close to the farmhouses and stretching on to the city. The farmer bought an automobile and when he went to the city on business of his own he took the butter and eggs his wife had to sell and disposed of them in a ready market that paid in cash.
