ONE reason so many young parents bring up children! with eycessive that these parents have read and heard so much about "'the dangers of child." What they overlook and what some parent counselors have overlooked, child in growing up can escape frustrations. permissiveness is frustrating the is that no If he is allowed to do. about as he pleases he will inevitably come in conflict more and more with other persons, and adults, which means frus- tration. If he is brought up so as to have respect for the rights and feelings of others, brought up to accept NO as final he also will |frustrations. escape frustrations. children face wholly face conflicts, He can't Children Growing Up Meet With Frustration Yet these frustrations come not so much from the desirable controls as from human frail- ties of the parents in effecting these controls -- parents' own uncertainties, lack of reason- ableness, poise, and self-control -- with resulting uncertainties of the child as to whether he must accept the forbiddings or requirements expected or com- manded of him by his parents. Some of these uncertainties, moreover, arise out of the fail- ure of most parents to see that they can best effect desirable conduct in their child away from them by putting sole em- phasis on cultivating desirable behavior and attitudes in him while in their presence. To this end they must cultivate good relationships with this child so he will love and esteem' his parents. The frustrations may come also when what is required of, or forbidden the 'child, is not required of, or forbidden, his playmates or associates. In- deed, some 'experts' have caused many parents to be worried lest such frustrations might seriously warp the child's personality and impair his men- tal health. Therefore, many parents hesi- tate to deny the child anything which his playmates or associ- ates are not denied and hesi- tate to require of him anything not required of these playmates and associates, The child must never be expected to be differ- ent from the common herd. For example, the lad, ten, informs his parents that 'the other boys" have so much pocket money to spend on luxuries. These parents, more or less re- gardless of their income, or judgment to the contrary, sur- render to his wishes, lest he might be frustrated. These same parents, knowing he should take turns at hi w dishes and doing similar jobs at home, hesitate to him te da so because the other boys don't have to do such things. These parents also know this boy should, as a rule, come in off the streets when the lights appear, but since "the other boys 3cn't," he is. not required to do so either. Now what about the frustrations in these parents? Of course, there are some level-headed parents with the courage of their convictions, who do effect denials and re- quirements of their child with- out fear of his suffering unduly from irustrations; and they may attain these results with very few frustrations to any- one. Their plan removes doubts and conflicts over the matter. They provide so many. outlets for satisfaction to the child that he may find conformity thereio relatively easy. Some such parents have been so suc- have chosen to imitate them. Of course, the. more the par- ents and children. setting the model are looked up to, the more surely they will be emu- lated. : (My bulletins, "How to Teach Child Meaning of No," "Stub- borness," and "Love and R straint," may be secured by sending a self-addressed, U.S. stamped envelope to. me in care of this newspaper.) q Answering Parents' Questions Q.
