Parents’ Problems
How can a boy of 9 be broken of the
habit of loitering about the streets in
stead of coming directly home from
school'.’
This is a plain question of obedience.
Take the tendgicv in time. The secret
of securing obedience is the habit of i
l expecting it every tiitie. With a child
who has never been taught to obey.
thi3 would be a good place to begin,
first by making it clear that the re
quirement was no arbitrary unreason
ing demand, but being careful always
to have something for the boy to do
oa h» return.
