The theory is that he either does them and enjoys the benefits or neglects them and suffers the natural consequences. Now this Is in many respects a good theory but unfortunately a lot of parents find that it doesn't work. There are two basic reasons for these failures. One, the child may be too young for the chosen task. Feeding pets, for instance, has too dire consequences if ne­ glected to be handed over to a child under ten without super­ vision. The other mistake parents make is in giving children responsitMUty in cases where what they really want from them is obedience. We shouldn't, for example, give a bo. of any age responsibility for keep­ ing snow off the sidewalks in win­ ter or the grass cut in summer 11 these are his jobs we should exact obedience in getting them done, for the consequences of their being left undone would be far more un­ pleasant for the rest of the family than for the boy himself. Icy side­ walks to skate on clear to the door and tall waving grass to run through in summer would please most boys tremendously. They pro­ bably think your ideas on the subject just grownup nonsense anyway, with the sole purpose ol robbing them of their leisure. Thus the penalty for disobedience here would have to be denying the child something he prizes—such as a fishing trip or Dad's participation in a ball game—because a smooth lawn and clean sidewalk mean responsibility by having a child But you can teach a sense of re-sporuribility by having a child take over a project in which he is interested—such as a picnic lor his pals—and not stepping in when his interest flags and doing all the work yourself. And you should give him the responsmility, as soon as he is old enough, of caring for his toys, his books, his collection of stamps or stones or what not. If they are lost or broken m a re­ sult of his carelessness he should be let do without. On the other hand, you can't give a child res­ ponsibility for the care of his clothes, for if he loses a cap or gloves in cold weather you would not make him go without replace­ ments at the risk of his health. You can, of course, try to train him through pride in his appear­ ance to value his clothes and to treat them accordingly. But what we are saying is, that training, obedience and responsibil­ ity are three different aspects of discipline and knowing when to use one or the other comes with experience and thinking things through before you start.
