over your de parture perhaps he rebells so violently that it takes the edge off those few golden hours when you are free from home respon sibilities you canrot give in to his cry ing and stay home but you can try to discover the reason why he makes such a fuss time has little meaning for a child when he watches your departing back through the window it may be he tears you will never return no wonder he wails when he feels so esolate never try to deceive your child by slipping away when he is having his afternoon nap dont vanish when he is pre occupied with play these methods destroy his confidence in you prepare your child by telling him what you are going to ibe doing when you are away from him state exactly when you will be back by supper time or before daddy comes from the office if he is four or five show him where the ibig and little hands of the clock will be when he can start watching for your return when you come back take time to describe to him some thing you have seen or done it possible bring some little sur prise home with you as a pretty serviette from an afternoon tea party it is much easier lor your child to take your going in his stride if he enjoys the com pany of the grownup who is car ing for him have you discovered that there is no better substitute lor mother than father a man may feel awkward or inadequate in his first babysitting sessions but there is nothing which will make him prouder of his young ster son or daughter discovers that its fun to have daddy in charge together they can wave farewell quite happily as baby sitters grandmothers and aunts often rate high too most mothers have a list of two or three reliable older girls or women who are fond of children and know their childs schedule each friendly person who cares for your little iboy or girl in creases his confidence in other people outside the home circle but too many different sitters are confusing to a little child one of the most inexpensive daytime child caring schemes is a barter plan between two mo thers of small children you care for mrs smiths susan in your home one afternoon and she looks after your billy on another afternoon if this is a regular arrangement the two children will likely look forward to their time together a busy child is a happy child and you should plan possible ac tivities for your child in your absence have a few toys a favorite story book or dolly put away which are only enjoyed at these special times if father takes a turn at minding his youngster perhaps he could make a set ot homemade blocks or a simple jigsaw puzzle or a little pull toy for junior if your child attends nursery school during the week or a nursery class session during the morning church service you will notice his growth in emo tional independence these short periods of time away from mo ther are filled with interesting activity under a teacher whom he knows and loves why should he not he quite satisfied for mother to leave him occasionally pictures in a newspaper or conversation he overhears about a house being broken into or children being trapped in a burning home make a child approaching school aje terrified of burglars or fire mother should try to discover what is worrying him if sudden ly he clings to her and doesnt want her to leave if he can talk about his fears and be reassnred of his safely then ho can once again call sererely when mother goes shopping or out with friends goodbye mummy copyright gifts you make yourself reflect christmas giving handmade imaginative gifts for christmas giving seem to
