WHEN A CHILD CRIES.
“A mother can seldom withstand the tears of her baby, especially if it is her first baby. And yet the fear that babies will cry, or the mother’s softness of heart, accounts for much of /the over-indulgence of children. As soon as a child finds out that a mother is perfectly willing for him to cry if ho likes, and as long as lie likes, and that it doesn’t disturb him in the least, but she just sits complacently (outwardly!) by and reads or sews, crying loses its virtu©, and life from that lesson grows decidedly more sunshiny. For most of the crying of a young child is done deliberately because the child soon finds out that it is the way to get what lie wants.”—'From The Girl’s Own Paper and "Woman’s Magazine.
