Unspoiling the Spoilcu Child.
»
By MARY E. UNDERWOOD.
“Joe is so awfully mischievous,"
his mother complained to me. “He
simply takei the house apart. He
meddles with the riock, every lock or
screw, and »v never know what ter
rible thin,? is going to happen next.'
To illustrate, she told nt ■ of an tin
pleasant exporfonco -which result- i j
because of Joe's mi- ciii-'Vlo-tisn 1
One morning wl; a i: was alone in ,
t'ao room, he orani 1 tit - toll ;>hon -
end 'loosened tlie wires,
A few hours afterward t neighbors
hastily came to call far the tloetor. I
The telephone was on: of < ommis*}t>n j
• o.id no one pr- tit knew what to
<io. Joe was at school. At the sup-.
jH\r table Joe’s mother mentioned the
incident. Joe calmly announioed that
ho knew what was the matter witli
the ’phono and that h knew now to
fix it. This a • did. "And. conclud
ed the mother. “I fix ! Joe to help
him remember not to mctltl! with the
telephone again.''
It was very plain that what this
“spoiled child’’ needed was r.ot pun
ishment or f ill press ion of his me
chemical inclinations tut a chance to
■make use of them. .1 stale.I to Joe's
mother that if he were my bay 1
■would see that ho own ! a goad set
of boy’s tools and some good tne-j
cbaniieal books. J . ?'s parents ob
tained these for him and tl: y proved
to be exactly what lie net ! I. Hos
found great pleasure in using th
tools and reading the hooks and be
fore long Joe, instead cf being an
ormoynnee 'to everyone, became a
vary genuine source of pride to the
household. He had a corner in the
house which if sailed his “simp."
whence emanated all kinds of original
and .ingenious mechanical toys.
Tho problem presented by the chil 1;
who “'cries violently until he g •
v.'hat -ho wants" is a v try common
tie. The child who hi.- this habit'
da almost invariably a child who has 1
learned -from experience that crying;
hard and crying long enough is the;
most successful method of securing
his ends. Sonnetlmcs this practice
originates from what some parents
claim re u-bsolttfcely unavoidable cir
cumstances; <»ao instance being a
sickly child whom the parents think
-h.osild not, bn irritated, crossed or
annoyed in any way. A child so
t ted quickly and naturally learns
ti>i S]lat. value ti> himself of show
ing irritation- This coddling in child-j
Impel usually develops a selfish, self
cent d, self-seeking adult, who in
t'-.p end pays a heavy penalty for it
all by b ing generally disliked.
This use of crying is a business
method in a comparatively simple
variety of ‘'spoiledness” to cure, if
the mother goes at it whole-heartedly,
s -ring to it that the child never gets
anything by crying for it.
The child who maliciously teases
animals does it perhaps because lie
has never been trained or taught toj
treat them kindly, or because he has
m- a those about -him careless and I
unkind to animals. Little children j
are cruel without meaning to be|
cruel or knowing that they are cruel.
Kindness and sympathy for animals
can i>e»t he developed In children
through actual personol experiences.!
Every little child should have a
chauc • and should be required to
car- t. r some living, growing thing,
animal or plant. Only through such
practice. can the finer human sympa
thies and in.-tincts in the child be
awakened and developed.
Tile dcslne of a child to tease
others is often the direct result of
the child's homo environment. It is i
among the commonest of parents’
ns to tca-e their little children,
I do not need to suggest particulars
here; most of us can supply them
from our own experience.
Wise and loving parents will
r. a!i:'c that if their thoughtlessness
and lack of judgment have resulted
in spoiling, In order to insure the
let pi mss and welfare cf these chil
dren the work of unspoiling the
-".oiled child must be undertaken
