Some parents assert stoutly that they have raised obedient families and they have never spanked their children. Other parents maintain that they could not have made their children obedient without resorting to a form of physical punishment. There is much difference in chil dren. Some children must sufTer pain be fore they become subservient to the wishes and desires of their parents. Others may be reasoned with and won by kindness. But the game sort of treatment will not work out with all. Parents muat study their offspring and decide how to command obe dience. It )g a big mistake to allow a child to disobey. It is hard to correct this fault when the youngsters get into their teens. Small children should be made to obey and keep practicing obedience as they grow older.
