Does your nineâ€"yearâ€"old boy or ecacly â€"childhood is being behind? girl seom less close to you, now that You â€"smay ieen prepzcred for his being â€"more independent and less atâ€" fecciionats, but why does he someâ€" timos‘keem not so glad to be a memâ€" ber of your family? A study of schocl age children male stt Antinch collegs disclosed that many nineâ€"yearâ€"olds ask themâ€" e~lyvos these same questions concernâ€" ing their parents! Although they may squirm . out of your embrace and balk at kissing, when ycou follow their lead in discarding demonstrative afâ€" icction, it sets them wondering. Doe§ Mother live me less because she doesn‘t hug me when we say good night? â€"Does she love little sister more because sister sits on her lap? The way out of this dilemma is to tegin at five or six to find substiâ€" tutes for the kind of fondling little children love, yet substitutes that carry with them a sense of love and pride and pleasure in your child.

However, many youngsters put on a shew of not likâ€" ing the very kind of affection they crave from you â€" so don‘t discard petting until you are sure a child no longer needs this closencss. Then, the Anticch study found out a comparatively simple rejection bothered school children â€" that of having their questions unanswere1i. Parents are so patient with voery young childrenâ€"helving them identiâ€" fy a horse or a car or an airplane hundreds cf times. But the school child‘s questions are too often brushed off, sometimes because parâ€" ents are embarrassed by not knowing the answers, or because the questions cre intimate. Are Mother and Dad no longer interested in me, don‘t they want to be bothered with me, the child asks himself. What to do? This ‘problem of how much freedom of decision to allow a child is at the core of all guidâ€" ance, so we can‘t recommend any simple solution. But the beginning of _ wisdom lies surely in studying your childlâ€"does he show too little desire ts act on his own? Then, he needs to be encouraged to break away from your guiding hand. Does he hove an independent mindâ€" which usually displays good judgment? Then letâ€"shim ‘set the rate at which he deâ€" cides things for himself. Is he too adâ€" ventrous, and a bit rash and thoughtâ€" less about what he attempts to do? Then, see that he hag stricter superâ€" vision even if he doesn‘t like it.

This is a simple little story, but our livesâ€"yours and mineâ€"are made up mostly cf simple liittle things, and it is the way you handle the simple things that decides whether you are to be happy or unhappy. Miss Gocodness believed that being a good listener was an art in itself but she believed that few people had that ability. And she did not think of as cne of them She says she had as an example her own mother who not only listened courâ€" teously ts others, but she became abâ€" sorbedly interested. in what they had to hay, venturing only an ‘"oh" or an "ah" at the proper moment, whicn seemed always to spur to speaker on. She had often envied her mother this charming trait, but since she felt it was a naturzl trait in her mother it had néever occurred to her that it could be cultivated. She took as her objective one cerâ€" tain man whom she always had conâ€" sidered a bore. Getting him to talk wasn‘t difficult; this he was eager to do, particularly if he himseli{ were the subject. Miss Gcodness had in more than one instanc» talked with him ony‘y to find .that he was off in a world of his own, paying no cttenâ€" tion to what she was saying. At times he would bring his gaze back from the outer world to her to inâ€" terrupt with scme thought of his own, and not always revelant to the subâ€" ject at hand. It wasa‘t that he was discourteous,>â€" he was just absentâ€" mindedly coming back again, but alâ€" ways with his own interest foremost. Yes, he wruld be a splendld exampl2 for her test. Somewhere along the line she heard a spesker say that this was a trait that notâ€"only could be cultivated but that it was not in the ‘>ast difficult to cultivate it. So she set about findâ€" ing out for herself. So she forced hesrelf one day to listen to all he had to say, to listen closely, absorbedly, looking â€" for something in his remarks that would prove truly interesting: Much to Ifer amazement she found him very inâ€" terestmg Being very well read he _ Be A Good Listener HERE‘S AN EXPERIENCE born of rad given a great deal of thought to things that many pecple byâ€"pass entirely Says Miss Goodness, "Aside from karning how to listen, and finding out what being a good listener can mean. I made a friend of this person and never has my time been spent to greater advantage than the hour J gave to learning how to be a good listener."
