Some views on

About the time when the baby has graduated from the playpen, has begun to eat the
chopped “junior” foods, and is a year or so old, many conscientious parents are troubled

about how

First, she should decide what
the activities are which must be
forbidden, At the top of the list
are the physically dangerous ones
touching the hot stove, running
Cut inta the gutters, are examples
Of these,

The best way to handle this
when baby is a year to a. year

Away bodily from the stove or
Butter. If he will not trot along
wath his hand in yours, then say-
ng “hot and pointing rather
Btavely at the stove will often
Produce the desired withdrawal.

® trouble with “no, no” from
across the room is that it pres-
€nts the nice independent child
With a choice, a choice he is of-
me unable to make and which
fonly should be left for less
angerous activities.

This method is all very well

where the baby’s actual safety is.

to child but from activity to ac-
tivity.

Eating, for example, is an im-
portant and basic activity and
should proceed at a child’s own
pace. Dipping his hands into his
cereal at the age of five months,
is exploration into the texture
and feel of cereal.

To forbid Such activities when
they are still needed by the child
is to do damage to his pleasure in
eating. Allowing the child a good
measure of independence in the
way he handles food and the
amount he eats will enable him
to be more =willing to the other
demands made upon him by his
parents.

The child who is permitted to
engage in activities which are ap-
propriate to his level of develop-
ment has a better chance of grow
ing up to be a stable individual.

Democracy in the family does
not mean absence of restraint for
the children. On the other hand,
though we may respect the child’s
needs as a growing little creature,
at the same time parents have
the right and the responsibility
