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.
