He had a hearing problem which was corrected. "He is an average student now in school. The teacher says he is nervous and feels inade- quate.

I try to be as calm as possible. However, after not being well for nine months and then losing a baby, I was more nervous myself at this time.

READ DAILY ty - Read to this every day. Tt is encouraging if the younger likes to listen then sometimes, But the elder should feel he is first in his choices of what he likes to hear. Sometimes one of you parents may read to one boy and the other parent to the other boy, even in the same room. Whether this boy stutters or fails to'enunciate some words distinctly, your reading to him will be helpful. Since you say he sucks his thumb only at bedtime, this should not worry you. He might be willing to have you put mitts on him then or devise a kind] of a thumb-stall of rough cloth to. wear at night. As he comes to feel more grown-up and worthy, he may choose to solve this. problem himself. Surely you should not rebuke him for his offending thumb or use any corrective measures he will con- sider as punishments, Explain things to this boy. Answer all his questions kindly.

Yes; there is a scattered evidence that some children un- der seven or eight who have been exposed for years to many TV programs portraying mur- der, do come to this conclusion. Some of us have actually heard children ask, when they have learned of a person not being alive, '"'Who killed him?"

The following exercises are designed to tone the girdle muscles: Position: Lying on back on floor, 'feet: elevated to low bench, arms down at sides. Action: Pull up and in with the lower abdominal muscles and press small of back flat against floor, and flex alternate knees to chest. Continue for 12 counts.
