DOROTHY COFFEEN [OTHER PROBLEMS Hl |J T e a c h in g O r d e r lin e s s HERE doesn't seem to be any way to persuade six-year-old sums and daughters to pick up their toys and put them where they be­ long. If some one stands near and repeatedly prods by saying, “And now pick up the ball, and now pick up the doll's clothe* or the ten pins" the prolonged process of be­ ing orderly is eventually and pain­ fully accomplished. Little Is left of the prodders, however. Funny, Isn't It? Children will go around and around Robin Hood's barn to avoid doing something that could be over by the time they be­ gin to think about It. We may nng until nagging seeiua our chief a t ­ tribute but it makes no Impres­ sion. What can be done? Shall we sacrifice our idea of order to save our dispositions? Shall we pick the toys up ourselves to save our energy? If we do, we'll let ourselves in for years of doing Just that, and we'll also help the chil­ dren to form the habit of shirking which they will never be able to overcome. Six years of age la only the beginning of a long, long life of avoiding petty duties and It Is the most important age for habit formation. Now the method of attack for this problem Is divided Into two equally important part*. The flrst has to do with the elimination of our loquaciousness, our liberality lu the use of Just plain chatter, our persuasions, our pleadings and our threats which we never bother to carry out. Few words are needed when one wishes to be most con­ vincing and never more true is this thsn lo dealing with children. Have you ever tried the experi­ ment of looking a dangerous ani­ mal straight in the eye to keep him from attacking you? Probably not. I ? uui i t / It on your six-year-olds. Look squarely Into those teasing young eyes and say, “Son, daughter (whichever the case may be), pick up your toys. Nothing else can be done until they are all back In their places.” And mean it I The second part has to do with honesty iu our demands. If we re going to insist upon order, we'd better not be too insistent unless our own bureau drawers will hear inspection. We have no right to pose us dictators of a principle which we do not practice and chil­ dren are quick to observe this form of hyprocrisy. If we are convincing and honest, we will have little trouble In ob- taing not only order, but any oth­ er quality desirable. The reason why we have to nag so much Is usually a lack of one or the other of these necessary attributes of dis­ cipline. T i® 111*.
